Ave D is a sweet, spunky one-year-old girl who’s ready to find the forever home she deserves. She’s a petite ~15 lbs, possibly a Havanese mix, with soft, non-shedding hair - so regular grooming will be part of keeping her looking and feeling her best.
Found as a stray and never reclaimed, Ave D is now thriving in foster care in the Chicago south suburbs with the wonderful people who found her and want nothing more than the perfect match for her next chapter. She’s spayed, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, and officially ready to go home.
✨ What her foster family says:
• Energetic, playful, and loves toys
• Very smart and eager - training should come easily
• A bit of a runner, so a secure yard and door awareness are important
• Steals socks and clothing (but doesn’t destroy them!)
• Mostly potty trained - does well outside and will stand at the door to go out, but still has occasional accidents
• Not leash trained yet - on a harness she channels her inner Alaskan sled dog 😄
• Barks like a normal dog when watching the world go by, nothing excessive
• Cuddly and affectionate, though not a big fan of being picked up
• Great in the car and does well with other dogs, people, and kids
Ave D can be a little timid at first - when meeting new people she may roll onto her back and whimper - but once she realizes she’s safe, she pops right up, happy and playful. We think this just shows she’s a gentle soul who’s learning that the world can be kind.
🏡 Ideal home:
Ave D would thrive with an active family who enjoys playtime, enrichment, and helping a bright young dog continue building confidence. Someone who understands that patience, routine, and positive training will help her shine.
If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate companion with a big personality in a little body, Ave D might just be your girl. 💗
