This pretty girl is Ava!  She is a 2 year old shepherd mix that weighs about 48 pounds. She is spayed and up to date on vaccinations and micro-chipped.  Ava came to us when her owner passed away quite suddenly.  She was taken to the local shelter and then  moved on to us as she was very confused and frightened in the shelter environment.  She needs a little time to adjust to new people and things but once she does, she is very playfull.  She is good with children and would do ok in a home with another dog as long as that dog was pretty laid back.  She is house and crate trained.  She would do best in a home with a yard and daily exercise.  She would benefit greatly from attending an obedience class to help her with socialization and house rules.  Her adoption fee is $150. The adoption fee helps allow Perfect Paws to provide all animals with current, age appropriate vaccinations which include, DHLPP, Kennel Cough and Rabies (if the pet is at least 16 weeks old), and spay/neuter when necessary.  The fee also helps with the cost of deworming; heart worm testing (if the pet is at least 1 year old), heartworm prevention as well as flea and tick prevention for animals cared for through the rescue. She will go home with a collar, leash, and vaccination record.
