About Ava

Meet Ava, a sweet little companion weighing just 4.7 pounds. This tiny girl is happiest when curled up in your lap or following you from room to room. Seemingly made for companionship, she gets along wonderfully with dogs, cats, and children. Ava is friendly with everyone she meets and is the perfect addition to any household looking for a small yet significant presence. Ava is leash trained and kennel trained. She has been doing well with potty training, making her an easy companion to manage. At night, she cherishes snuggling up in bed with you. On her arrival at the rescue, she was heavily matted, requiring a shave for her comfort. While her coat will grow back beautifully, she will need regular grooming to keep it healthy. Though car rides may make her a bit anxious, a lap to sit on and some gentle reassurance will help her feel at ease. Ava is looking for someone who will treasure and include her in everyday life. If you want a loving, quiet companion ready to share her heart, Ava could be just the girl for you. Ava was spayed and recently had some dental work, so she'll need soft food while she recovers.
