ATTENTION: Kennel staff will be taking applications on me and picking the most appropriate home. Hello there, my name is Ava and I am just the softest little lady around the shelter. I am VERY nervous of new people and will require a couple meet and greets before I am fully comfortable with you. Once I open up I can be playful and want all the pets and snuggles, but only on my terms. I will need an adult only home who is respectful of the boundaries that I set. I came into the shelter when my owner was moving into no-pet housing and could not take me with them. I have lived with a dog previously, and could again, as well as a cat, as long as they're not overly playful with me, since I have some special medical needs. I have what the veterinarians call "bilateral luxating patellas", which means that the tendons in my knees are dislocated regularly, even when the vet tries to manipulate them back into their proper position. This is something that is painful for me, and will require working with my new owners veterinarian to get me on pain medication. Staff have been keeping me comfortable though, through a fort of pillows, dog beds, and blankets in my kennel so I always have somewhere soft to snuggle into. I enjoy snoozing the day away in the kennel and once I am comfortable with you, hanging out with humans as they tell me how sweet and lovely I am! I have potty accidents in my kennel overnight, but during the day I am fully clean! Weight: 6
If you would like more information about me and how to potentially adopt me, please contact the kennel staff at (413) 447-7878 ext.126.
