About Ava
Meet Ava, a charming 8-year-old Jack Russell Terrier mix who is eagerly searching for her forever home.

She’s looking for that special someone who can take things at her pace while showering her with love and kindness. Ava promises to return that affection with endless snuggles and adoring gazes. Are you ready to help her come out of her shell? This adorable girl gets along well with other dogs, but her interactions with cats and children are still a mystery.
