About Avocado

Avocado is a sweet, spotted dog with a smooshy face who was found as a stray before arriving at the shelter. Known for his friendly demeanor, he greets everyone with a big smile and a wag of his nubby tail. Having been adopted in 2024, he spent about a year in a loving home but returned to PACC due to his owner's illness. In his previous foster home, Avocado got along well with kids and small dogs. He was house and crate trained, described by his family as an affectionate couch potato who enjoys toys and being close to his humans. Volunteers at the shelter shared heartwarming stories, noting how he jumps into laps for affection, enjoys playtime in the pool, and loves exploring. Avocado has been easygoing and tolerant with other dogs in playgroups, so meeting any resident dogs is encouraged to ensure compatibility. Don't miss the chance to meet this lovable companion!
