Meet Ava, a clever and adventurous 3-year-old female Catahoula Leopard Dog mix, ready to find her forever family in Dayton, OH. She strikes an impressive balance between athletic drive and casual couch time—always up for fetch in the yard or exploring new places, but happy to curl up next to you and soak up some affection. Ava is smart and independent; she’ll take a little time to warm up, but her friendly and loyal side shine once she trusts you. She’s playful, has a protective streak, and absolutely loves a good ball game. Ava gets along well with other dogs, cats, and children, making her versatile for many home types. She thrives with an attentive owner who provides both mental and physical stimulation. Ava is house trained, spayed, and current on vaccinations, making her an easy fit into an active, loving household. She’s ready for her next big adventure—could that be with you?
