About Avacado

Make their next chapter their best one yet. Meet Avacado! Who could resist a little old lady with one eye looking for a fresh start? Avacado is one of the 23 dogs rescued from a difficult situation where she endured extreme cold without heat or electricity. Despite her tough past, she’s blossoming into a sweet, playful companion who is just waiting for someone to love her. Avacado is estimated to be 8-10 years old and, once comfortable, reveals her fun side—a perfect blend of cuddling and playfulness. She’s a small, female Chihuahua mix, weighing in at 10 pounds, fully grown with a short, soft coat. Already spayed, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and heartworm negative, she’s also had a dental and, despite losing 18 teeth, continues to enjoy every day with gentle resilience. While still shy and reserved, this darling is making wonderful progress and now loves nothing more than curling up in a blanket and sitting with those she trusts. Avacado is gentle even when scared and has never shown aggression. She gets along well with other dogs of all sizes and ages, and though she hasn’t been fostered with cats, she’s shown a mellow nature that suggests she’d adjust well. Children who are respectful and gentle are greeted with her quiet patience—she’ll even allow them to pick her up and cuddle. Crate trained but still working on her potty training, she’s learning new routines and is making wonderful strides on the leash. Avacado enjoys car rides and is calm and cooperative during vet visits. Due to her past, she appreciates being fed separately and benefits from a patient, understanding family who will give her time to adjust to her brighter future. Avacado’s energy is moderate; she’ll surprise you with playful bursts and then settle in for lazy cuddles. If you’re willing to help her continue healing and learning to trust, she’ll be a loving and loyal addition to your home. Only apply if you’re ready to give her the time she truly deserves—she needs a committed family ready to love her at her own pace. Homes must be within a two-hour drive of Hampton, VA.
