About Ava

Pet Location: Wayside Waifs Campus My Friends at Wayside say: - I am enrolled in Waifs with Wisdom. This is a program for dogs to learn basic commands and leash walking skills. My adoption comes with a free 30-minute private training session. -New people and things make me a little nervous. Let’s take things slow! - Balls, squeaky toys, rope toys, I love them all! - An adopter with training experience would help me thrive! -I’m smart and food/treat motivated, and I already know sit! My home needs are: -I need a home with kids 6 years old and older since I tend to be nervous around new people and loud noises. -Wayside requires bringing the whole family out to meet me before adoption - new people can make me a little nervous. - Wayside recommends you bring your dog to meet me before adoption to ensure we can be buddies. Hi, I'm Ava, I ended up at the shelter when my family couldn't care for me any longer. I have been struggling to settle in. I am 4 but have a lot of energy, so don't let my age fool you. I am a perfect size at 29 pounds for those that don't want a large dog. I know sit but don't seem to know any other commands. I like to zig zag when walking so could use some help with walking on a leash. I am a beagle after all. I like to use my nose. I would make a great jogging partner once I settle down. I enjoy interacting with other dogs at the shelter. Once I feel comfortable, I really like to play. I have a kind of rough and tumble play style. I like to chase other dogs, then do some wrestling with them. I love to run with them. I am looking for an owner that can help me get some energy out. Walking/hiking buddy? Jogging? I'm up for whatever you throw at me. Come say hi. I would love to meet you. Love, Ava
