Description:

Meet Ava.  It is hard to believe this little girl was picked up on M61 as a stray.  Cold and frightened, Ava was taken to a rural shelter in mid MI.  LDDR rescued Ava a few hours before she was to be euthanized.  Ava is thought to be around 10 years old and blind in one eye.  But don't let her age or vision impairment fool you.  Ava is quite active and very inquisitive.  She checks out all corners of the house and yard!  She loves to sniff out birds, squirrels, chipmunks and FOOD.  We have learned she is very smart, too.  She learned her name in one day!  Ava also knows some commands, and understands 'out', 'go' and 'come'.  Ava has adjusted well to the routine at her foster home.  She seems to enjoy the company of the others dogs, but doesn't play with them.  Ava has not had any accidents in the house and sleeps through the night in her crate.  This little sweet pea barely reaches 8 pounds on the scale.  She has a charming personality and seems eager to please.  Ava has received all her shots.  At a recent dental appointment, little Ava had 14 teeth extracted...ouch!!  But that doesn't stop her from being a chow-hound.  She just needs her food in smaller bites.  Ava has no other known health issues.

If you are looking for a lap-buddy with a happy personality, Ava may be your girl.  Due to her tiny size and vision impairment, Ava would not be suited to a home with little children. 

Last Day Dog Rescue now microchips all animals before adoption. Microchips are implanted between the animals shoulder blades and are a permanent form of identification. If the animal is ever lost and slips his/her collar/tags the microchip allows the finder to know who to contact if scanned for a microchip. Animals MUST still have a collar with tags on at all times. Per our contract, we take all our animals back if for any reason you can't keep your adopted animal.

Please understand the statements about this animal are based upon the foster home's evaluation of the animal. The animal might behave differently (negatively or positively) in your home. While the animal might be good with the current foster’s dogs, cats, children, etc., it may not be with your animal(s) or children. The animal may be housebroken or litter trained in the home of the foster but may relapse in your home. The animal is represented to the public as it performs in the foster home and any statements made regarding the animal are conditional to that foster home setting. Please understand that statements made regarding this animal are simply overviews and are not guaranteed.

The Petfinder.com system requires that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our animals. Visual breed identification in animals is unreliable so for most of the animals we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each animal as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our animals based on personality, not by breed label.

Thank you for looking through our list of animals needing forever homes and choosing rescue first. We appreciate you stopping by.
