Ava

My story

Say hello to Ava! Ava is a super tiny Chihuahua mix, approximately five-years-old. She originally came to the shelter with multiple other dogs, as part of a hoarding case. She was adopted back in 2020 and returned recently due to health issues of her adopter. Ava is shy and avoidant with people, and will dart away when you try to pet her. Ava does take treats from your hand once she knows you. Ava will do best in a home with no small children and a secure yard/home that she cannot escape from. We are open to Ava being adopted, or going to a foster home to help work on her socialization. Ava enjoys the company of other dogs and should go to a home with at least one other dog, to help her adjust to her new environment. Ava is looking for a family that will be patient with her and not expect too much, too fast. If you would like to help a scared rescue dog and think Ava might be a fit for your lifestyle, send us an email to chitownrescue@gmail.com.May 16, 2025, 2:49 am
