Ava -- ADOPTED!!!

Ava is a pure joy to be around. She's the type of dog you want to come home to after a long day because she's exactly what will cheer you up. She is just so full of happiness and fun-loving energy its contagious. She actually makes me laugh. I've actually caught myself laughing out loud when I take her for walks or to play in the playpen because she's just so funny.

Ava laying in the grassy pen...after lots of playing of course!

We got to spend some time in the playpen together so I took a bit of video of her doing her play bows and happy sprints. She really likes running after toys and she really likes being played with. She is respectful and doesn't jump at her toys when you hold them, but patiently waits for you to throw. Here is a cute video of her playing!

Ava does well with other dogs and LOVES to play with them. When she was recently at an adoption event at Petsmart, she wanted to play with all the dogs that were there -- she simply likes all of them, and from what I can tell, they like her! She also has a big soft spot for people -- even more so than doggies :-).

Just look at that sweet face!!!

Ava does pretty well on a leash, although she is very energetic, meaning she loves to run while on the leash. She would make an awesome running or hiking partner.

Behaving beautifully on our walk!

Her favourite game is when we get to a big puddle, to use her jaws to scoop the water, throw it in the air, and then playfully bite at it and try to "get it". So. Adorable!

"I love running around!!!"

Who can resist that sweet face and heart of gold? I sure can't!!!

Ava lives in Kennel 9. She would love a visit!!!!
