Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Ava is a beautiful, sweet 2-year-old Retriever mix weighing 53 pounds. She is shy but very friendly and seems happy. She was adopted when she was just 4 months old and returned later as they thought she had too much energy. Sadly Ava had not been trained at all. She is so sweet but it's almost like she is still a puppy because she lacks training. She has a whole new world to learn and needs someone very patient with her. She is gentle (I don't think we have ever heard her bark). She is loving with the staff and volunteers, she loves her treats and has a few doggie friends at the rescue that she loves to play with. It is so wonderful to see her having fun playing with other doggies. She does not walk well on a leash and she still needs help on house-training. While she gets along with the other dogs she has not been cat or child-tested. Her adoption donation is $100 which includes her spay, vaccinations, microchip. She still seems frightened of loud noises and even going outside. We truly do not know what happened when she was adopted but we pray her forever family will come soon. She deserves the love and the patience of someone to show her what a home should be like. She may require a few visits just because she is shy but you will see what a sweet little girl she is. Please come visit her and please help her get the Forever Home she desperately desires.
