Arrival Story:
Ava came into IG foster at the grand old age of 4 months. The couple that purchased her from the breeder were getting divorced & basically left her outside all the time in a dog run on a concrete slab with no food, water or shelter. The breeder had been trying to contact the couple to check on her, got worried & went to see her. She immediately took her back (as a clause in the contract, she had the option to do so) and because she already had so many dogs & litters,she couldn't keep her because she was worried about Ava giving them something. The breeder turned her over to rescue & a friend called & asked me if I could keep Ava for a week or so until a permenant foster home could be found (her adult IG's kept trying to attack Ava ). I immediately said yes, and called her 6 hours after Ava came to me and said she was staying!!
Bio:
Ava was not even given a name by her previous "owners" and was never socialized at all, with either people or dogs. When she came to live with me, she was like a brand new puppy, exploring the world for the first time, learning how to be a dog! I have been socializing her & she is getting a lot of cues from her older sister Gracye and her buddies at the dog park. I have had her now for about 8 months and her progress is remarkable. Friends & people at the dog park tell me she doesn't even act like the same dog! She has turned out to be a sweet, playful, entergetic, precious baby! She is also now working on getting her CGC!! UPDATE!!! Ava has gotten her CGC and we are now working on becoming a Therapy Dog like her sister Gracye!!

Her most endearing quality:
Even when she sleeps, her personality comes through!! When she is snuggled under the covers, in bed or on the couch, she sighs if she is content, and grumbles if you move or bump her just a bit, like she is reminding you she is there and not to be disturbed!!
