Meet Ava!
Hey everyone, I'm Ava. I am hoping that there is a home out there for a beautiful looking, sweet girl like me.
I am currently living in a home and being rehomed via NAWTs Home Direct Scheme so all meetings will be done at the Centre.
I am ideally looking for new owners who are able to spend lots of time with me as I adore the closeness of a human companion, however, I have been building up on the time that I can be left and I am actually quite confident and happy sleeping in my own bed without worrying too much, you may be able to tell that I have sofa and bed hopped whilst you have been gone though!
I am not a fan of all this cold wet weather and much prefer being cuddled up, nice and warm in a bed, or even on or under yours if you are happy to share!
I am a bit timid and wary to start with (especially with men) and can show this by being vocal, but I come round really quickly with patience and rewards (I love my treats!!) and then you will see my adorable soft, cuddly and friendly nature. All the staff here at the centre are absolutely amazed of how well I have done since they first met me and are hoping my new owners will continue with all the great training I am doing.
Once we have that bond I am great to handle, groom and I even enjoyed my recent check up at the vets and gave the vet lots of kisses.
I will need an owner who enjoys walking as much as I do. I am up for all sorts of adventures as long as you just allow me the time to build up my confidence. I had been building up my dog socialisation skills and been enjoying going out on walks with some doggy pals so I could possibly live with another dog if it was the right match for me.
I can be a vocal girl, and like a lot of dogs, I will make lots of noise when someone knocks on the front door or walks past the window, but I am learning that I don't have to react to everything and not all noises are bad or for me to shout about. This is also something I am working on when out and about on my walks so the staff here can show you how to help me with this.
I can be a little bit travel sick but it is all new to me, so again - I just need time to get used to this gradually.
I am hoping that someone out there who lives in quiet location with a nice garden for me to do zoomies, is going to give me the chance to shine and show how much of a wonderful friend and companion I can be as I really do have so much love to give x Paws crossed x
