Ava is a large, mature German Shepherd—likely around four years old—living in Marianna, FL. She gets along very well with other dogs in person, though she can be reactive at the fence, so she’ll need help learning better boundaries in those situations. Once the barrier is gone, she stays calm, but this is a behavior to keep working on. Ava is currently heartworm positive and being treated with the slow-kill method, though adopters can discuss alternative treatment routes with their own vet. She’s house trained, spayed, and up-to-date with vaccinations. Ava will need a secure fenced yard and, like all dogs from this rescue, requires a pre-approved application to meet her. Transport options are available if you’re not local. Let’s make sure Ava finds a safe and supportive home to continue her progress. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
