AVA

PLEASE READ ENTIRE POST AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION - AVA BREED: Yorkshire Terrier SIZE - About 12 pounds AGE - 14 years GENDER - Female MEDICAL CONCERNS - None known BEHAVIOR CONCERNS - None known SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS - Ava is a wonderful little dog seeking the companionship of a wonderful adopter! Not only is she adorable, but she is super sweet, quiet, and clean, and a perfect little sweetheart that would be happy beside her special person enjoying a quiet life. Ava came to us from our favorite shelter partner in WV with another senior (male) that had been in her home. Their owner became ill and went into assisted living and no one in the family was willing to take the dogs in. In fact, they abandoned them in the owner's home until their veterinarian became aware and worked to have the family surrender them. Fully grown at just 12 pounds, Ava is a perfect size for most homes! She is in good health, spayed, microchipped, and fully vaccinated. We are seeking a home with an adopter able to work from home or be at home the majority of the day to spend time with her. A home without larger pets or small children, and with a fenced, secure yard will be required. Ava will make a wonderful companion for a senior person who is able to care for her independently. Our adoption process starts with your email to [email protected] or Petfinder inquiry. After we receive it, we will email you our prescreening questionnaire. Your answers will help us determine that your home and lifestyle matches the needs of Ava and our adoption criteria. Once determined, we will set up a private meeting with you and your family to meet Ava at a park near our private kennel just east of Richmond. After meeting her and determining that she matches your preferences for a pet, we will accept your application. A home visit by one of our trained volunteers is required for all adoptions, and we will speak with your vet to ensure that you are a responsible pet owner.
