Story
Say hello to the stubby legged cutie Brian. Brian and his siblings were feral puppies when they joined the AAVA family in May. They have made huge strides and are coming along nicely so it's time for them to find their forever family. Brian still gets slightly nervous when things are loud or fast moving, but with time he will get more and more comfortable. Brian is mostly potty trained but still has accidents. He is dog friendly, small animal friendly, and kid friendly. Brian is learning humans are amazing and learning to trust. He loves to be petted on his terms and is starting to come up to his foster mom for affection. He had a really bad case of mange and ringworm but he is almost completely healed. Brian is going to be a remarkable dude as he gets more and more confident.March 11, 2026, 12:53 am

Hey everyone! My name is Brocho, and I’m a simple guy just looking for love. I love to play with the other dogs in my foster home, but I can also be a total couch potato too! I am about 50 lbs of pure love. I hope I can be a part of your family!March 11, 2026, 12:53 am

Story
Wilson is a male, yellow lab who is about 5 years old and is looking for his forever home! He’s super easy going, kennel trained, potty trained, knows “sit” and gets along well with other dogs! Wilson would love a family who wants to be outside with him, go on walks and maybe throw the ball a time or two, but also to be a part of family movie night on the couch and get all of the loving and pets! Maybe throw in a treat or two while you’re at itMarch 11, 2026, 12:53 am

Story
 Freya’s sweet, gentle spirit is easy to see the moment you meet her. This beautiful one-year-old girl weighs about 57 pounds and has the most unique speckled coat and soft, soulful eyes. But the shelter environment is very overwhelming for her, and it’s clear she would much rather be somewhere safe and quiet with someone who will love her. Freya is submissive, friendly, and very gentle. She approaches people softly and kindly, wanting affection but a little unsure of the busy shelter around her. She’s timid right now and clearly scared in the kennel environment, but her kind nature shines through. With patience, kindness, and a calm home, Freya will blossom into the loyal companion she’s meant to be.At just a year old, Freya has her whole life ahead of her. She deserves a soft bed, a yard to explore, and a family who will help her feel safe again. Dogs like Freya often struggle the most in shelters simply because they are sensitive souls. What Freya needs most right now is someone willing to give her a chance — whether that’s a foster, adopter, or rescue.A gentle girl like Freya shouldn’t have to face the shelter alone. March 11, 2026, 1:15 am
