Meet Ava

German Shepherd Mix

11 years old

Spayed Female

Adoption fee: $75

Fee includes rabies and distemper vaccinations, heartworm testing, deworming, spay or neuter surgery, micro-chipping, one month of free pet insurance, and a free donated initial vet visit.



Ava was surrendered to the shelter because she was not adjusting to the younger dog in the household

Very sweet and always smiling

Loves to be near her people and relax with them

Really enjoys attention and being pet; don't be surprised if she nudges you for more

Not very interested in toys

Ava does have hip dysplasia in her left hip and arthritis that will need to managed for the remainder of her life; Ava's new family will want to establish a care plan with their family veterinarian

She prefers a home with another calm dog like her, or to be the only dog in the home.

As far as potty-training, we recommend keeping them on a regular schedule and crate-train until you can learn each other’s signals and daily schedules
