Ava - Bernese Mountain Dog and Miniature Poodle Dog for Adoption in Sinking Spring, Pennsylvania

Ava is a sweet Mini Bernedoodle who is gradually growing into herself. After spending years in a puppy mill, Ava is learning that human companionship can be warm, safe, and loving. She enjoys sunshine, long walks in the fresh air, and smelling the world all around her. She appreciates affection, though she doesn't always know how to ask for it, and loves long naps on her special blanket. As she makes herself at home, you may catch her sneaking around the house to watch her favorite humans. Her sharp mind and quick instincts have helped to keep her safe thus far on her journey, but she's learning to feel safe and smile too.

Ava is house-trained with in-room supervision, and training will easily progress as she learns to trust more. She is properly crate trained, and enjoys her "room" for rest, meal time, and decompression. She walks well on a leash, knows the "wait" command, understands "okay" as her release word, but she can also spook easily around loud noises, children, and unsolicited pet-attempts. Dogs do not bother her unless they are reactive, and squirrels don't catch her attention either. After trying different menu options, she eats a balanced diet of probiotic foods and chicken treats, and the occasional fresh boiled chicken and rice.

Ava will benefit most from a home with no young children and calm environments. A fenced in yard with room to roam will help her learn how to be more herself independently in a space she thoroughly enjoys, which is an important thing for her introverted personality. She is shy around other dogs but accepts their company, friendly cats as well, and she does like to curiously watch her family love on fellow furry friends. Ava has a healing journey ahead of her yet, but the right home will find a loyal family member for life.
