Ava - Labrador Retriever and Boxer Dog for Adoption in Alpena, Michigan

Ava is a wonderful 3 1/2 year old Mixed Breed dog that absolutely loves all people! She gets her zoomies and likes to play fetch, then is happy just to hang out wherever you are. She has done great with other dogs she has met (large and small) and grew up around a cat, so is fine with feline friends as well.

Ava was surrendered to our shelter through no fault of her own - she had several litters of puppies while with her former owners and then they simply decided they didn't have time for her anymore.

She is now spayed, up to date on all her vaccinations, microchipped and just looking for her happily ever after.
