My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Ava is a beautiful and loyal cuddle bug. She is whip smart and very happy and active. Swimming is one of her favorite past times. She gets along well with other dogs, big and small and enjoys running around in her cart.

Rescuers brought her to us months after they had found her badly injured. Because they had waited so long, the damage wasn't entirely reversible. She doesn't let that stop her from having fun and getting around in and out of her cart. Reach out to set up a meeting! She'll steal your heart like she has ours.

•German Shepherd. Female. 3 years old.
•She was stepped on at 4 weeks old and her back was broken in two places.
•Her hind legs are paralyzed from the injuries she sustained.
•She has had a wheelchair most of her life and is very active in it.
•She gets along with other dogs and loves to play,
• Dogs who lie on the floor to wrestle with her are her favorite.
•She’s very social and keeps herself busy as the “Sheriff on duty”.
•She moves with ease in the water and absolutely loves to swim.
•After the pool, a person’s lap may be her favorite place to be.
•She needs an owner that is around much of the time.
• She cannot urinate on her own.
• Her bladder needs to be expressed 3-4x day.
