Ava Poodle & Golden Retriever Mix Lenoir, NC

Ava, like Ava in the Aviator, knows her worth! She is happy to share all the love in her heart, though, with her best friends :)

With a guesstimated birthday in Sept. 2023, Ava weighed 28 lb at her spay on Feb. 12th.

Ava is keeping her crate clean overnight and increasingly successful in eliminating outside when kept on a regular schedule (currently every 2 hours).

Ava loves to be with her people and will bark if crated while they're home. She enjoys her doggy friends with puppy enthusiasm and ignores the cats in her foster home.

Ava is leash savvy and as an adult, will be comfy in a 42" crate. She's nervous in cars, so a tether is recommended to keep her out of the driver's space. Ava doesn't know the word stranger and greets everyone with a joyful doggy grin.

Whether dogs / puppies come in as strays or owner surrenders, we usually have to make our best guess as to birthdate and breed.

If adopted into a home with other animals, particularly cats, your new pet should be crated or secured when you're not available to supervise to insure a harmonious relationship.

A vet reference is required to confirm responsible pet ownership. Requirement is a minimum three year vet history documenting current / previous pets are spayed / neutered, kept up to date on core vaccinations, and on heartworm prevention. We suggest first time pet owners without a vet history look for an adult dog for companionship and to gain experience. Other rescues or your local government-run animal control agency may have different adoption requirements.

Adoption fee covers two vaccinations. Additional fees for 3rd puppy vaccination, refundable spay/neuter deposit, etc. may apply.

We are an all-volunteer, foster-based rescue. We receive no funding from agencies.

Not all foster dogs are available for viewing during public events, held most Saturdays at Tractor Supply (360 Blowing Rock Blvd) in Lenoir, NC from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. We recommend interested parties contact us to pre-qualify for adoption so their new furry family can go home once paperwork is complete. Fees are required in cash. For more information on our organization, our website is www.FoothillsCanineRescue.org.
