Story
KenMar Rescue’s: Avery
APPROXIMATE AGE: 2 yrs and 6 months
Apx DOB: July 28, 2023
CURRENT STATUS: AVAILABLE, taking applications
OVERVIEW
Avery is an absolute sweetheart! Wherever you go, she goes. She’s your little shadow and proud of it. This good girl is incredibly cuddly and thrives on affection, happily curling up next to you for snuggles after following you around all day.
Sweet Avery has a gentle, loving nature and forms strong bonds with her people, making her the perfect companion for someone looking for a loyal best friend. With her gentle personality and affectionate heart, Avery will bring endless love, comfort, and joy into her forever home.
Avery is approximately 2 years and 6 months old and weighs 7 lbs. She may gain a few pounds but will be a small dog. She is spayed, microchipped and up to date on all shots.
Her breed blend is Toy Poodle. A DNA test, if done by her new parents, may yield more information.
Avery is a low-shedding breed blend and leans towards being hypoallergenic. However, her grooming needs will need to be a priority for her forever family so that her coat does not get matted and remains properly maintained.
This dog is available for adoption through KenMar Rescue.
If you're interested in adopting, the first thing you should do is email info@kenmarrescue.org to request an Adoption Application and put “Adoption Application Request for Avery” on the subject line of the email.

Please note:
We are located in Northern California, near Yosemite. So transportation logistics may be an issue. Especially if things do not work out, how would the orphan be returned to us?
Would you be the primary adopters? Responsible for future care, feeding and future annual vet visits and medical expenses? Please consider these things before applying.
