Ava von Athala is a beautiful 3 year old smaller sized German Shepherd. This little lady is a dream to walk. Looking into her soulful eyes, you will see how much she longs for a home to call her own. When Ava first arrived at the rescue, she was fearful, confused in the shelter environment but, with daily compassionate care, has thrived immeasurably and is now one of the happiest dogs in the kennel! She can still be shy when she first meets new people, but give her a little time and she will show her sweet personality in no time. On walks or in playgroups, Ava will always make time for the belly rubs you will want to give this resilient little blossom. She does well with dogs of other sizes and personalities, and can even travel out of state, if love and belly rubs are guaranteed.
