Avery is highly sensitive to energy, and she’s naturally drawn to calm, kind souls. This makes perfect sense when you consider her unique world. As a blind and deaf dog, Avery relies on touch and scent to navigate her surroundings and find safety. The busy kennel environment, filled with the stress of other dogs, can be overwhelming for her. But once Avery connects with you—once your energy meets her standard—watch out! She transforms into the most playful, goofy, cuddly, high-steppin’ girl you’ll ever meet. She’s a staff favorite, adored for her sweet snuggles and love of treats.
We’re seeking a family without children who will patiently take the time to build a bond with Avery, allowing her to trust their energy. Imagine the purity of love that can blossom in this special relationship. Avery may not see or hear you, but she will love you deeply. Avery is living with a genetic condition called retinal degeneration, which has caused her blindness. Unfortunately, due to the progressive nature of the condition, nothing could be done to save her vision.
Avery was surrendered to us when her family moved to a house with stairs that posed a danger due to her orthopedic issues. As a result, we’re looking for a home without stairs. Avery has hip dysplasia and arthritis in her right front elbow, a result of a previous fracture. Avery enjoys walks and the comfort of long naps afterward. She likes other dogs but may initially be reactive, which is completely understandable given her disabilities. A home with another steady dog could work, but only after multiple visits to Dog Tales to ensure compatibility.
Because of her visual and hearing impairments, Avery can be reactive and may lunge when meeting new people or dogs. It’s important that her adopter takes introductions slow, providing her with the consistency and safety she needs in these situations. To support a smooth transition, Dog Tales will offer training both before and after adoption. Avery’s new family will need to visit regularly to build a connection.
