Ava

My story

Meet Ava Ava is a beautiful soul who’s been through more than any dog should. Life on the streets left her scared and unsure, and now she’s slowly learning that the world can be kind and people can be trusted. She’s sweet and sensitive — a gentle girl who just wants to feel safe and loved. Ava has some fear-based reactivity to other dogs, likely a result of having to fend for herself in tough conditions. But with patience, love, and continued support, she’s making progress every day. Ava is heartworm positive, but she’s receiving treatment and has a whole team rooting for her recovery. All she really wants is someone to give her the chance she’s never had — someone who will see past her fear and into her heart. Is that someone you?
