Hi there,
My name’s Ava and I’m a great pup who is looking for a place to call home! I am about 4-5  months old now and am learning fun new things everyday. I already know how to sit like a little lady and I’m working on a few others like “down”, coming when called, and my foster mom’s favorite, “leave it.” She says I am a fast learner and I’m very eager to please! I would love to go to some training classes with my new family so I can continue to learn what is expected of me. Classes would also give me a chance to bond with my new parent(s) as well.

I like to spend my days exploring the world and having as many adventures as I can! Toys are great fun and I can occupy myself quietly with them, or play along with one of my foster dog friends. I love all of them! It is great to wrestle rough and tumbly with some of my foster sisters, even though they are bigger than me. Sometimes more than one fur friend will join in and then we have fun tag-team wrestling matches. J  We play tug with the rope toys and we chase each other all around the yard at warp speeds!! They are all faster than me but I don’t let that slow me down! I also enjoy playing tag with my big foster sisters. Sometimes they team up on me, but I’m one tough cookie and I always stand my ground! My foster mom says I have no fear!

On hot days, I like to stay cool by splashing around in the kiddie pool. Sometimes I dunk my head in and blow bubbles! J  I like it because it tickles my nose! Other times I just like to splash around or leap in and out real fast during a game of chase. Someday I hope to give swimming a try because I think that’d be fun, too.

I love my “room” aka, my crate, and I run in there whenever it’s time to rest or sleep. I even eat my meals in my room. My foster mom sometimes gives me a toy or a nylabone to occupy me while I’m in my room but my favorite is when she stuffs my kong with lots of yummy things! I do my very best to not have any accidents in the house, but I am a puppy after all, and sometimes I get too busy playing and forget about going outside. As long as you keep an eye on me during playtimes and remind me to go out, I promise to listen!

Even though I’m having a blast with all my canine foster siblings and my foster mom is a great mom, I’d love to have a family of my very own! If my new family had a canine sibling, that would be awesome! But I would enjoy the spotlight of being an only dog as long as I get plenty of exercise and adventures to keep me entertained.  My foster mom does say that my new family should have experience with German Shepherds because I am such a confident little pup. She wants to make sure my new home will understand all about me to ensure that everyone stays happy! So now that you’ve learned all about me, what do you think… are you the family I’ve been waiting for??
