Meet Ava! Ava is a lovable 6-year-old Pit Bull mix with a calm, gentle nature and a heart full of love to give. After coming to the shelter as a stray, she's hoping to find a family that will give her the second chance she deserves. This sweet girl is quiet in her kennel, easy to leash, and enjoys leisurely walks with very little pulling. Ava is affectionate and enjoys gentle pets from head to tail, happily soaking up the attention from her favorite people. She also loves treats and takes them with the sweetest manners. Ava is looking for a patient adopter who can help her learn the basics. She doesn't appear to have had much previous training, but with positive reinforcement, tasty treats, and consistency, she's sure to blossom into a wonderful companion. When introduced to another dog, Ava was a little unsure at first, but after a slow, respectful introduction, she warmed up and was interested in playing. She may do well with another canine companion, and a dog-to-dog meet is recommended to make sure everyone is a good fit. She has not yet been tested with cats. Ava is currently managing some skin issues that will require a medical waiver and continued care, but don't let that discourage you—she has so much love to offer and deserves a family willing to help her feel her best. If you're searching for a calm, affectionate best friend who will enjoy quiet walks, gentle cuddles, and growing alongside you, Ava may be the perfect match. Come meet this sweet girl and give her the loving home she's been waiting for!
