Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Ava! This 3-year-old Staffy mix is on the lookout for a loving forever home. Ava is a big-hearted love bug, perfectly blending playful energy with a sweet demeanor. She thrives in a yard where she can run freely to get her energy out. Ava is a very social girl and adores being around people. She's gentle when taking treats, but she can also catch them in the air! She can be jumpy during greetings, so we recommend sturdy children so nobody accidentally gets knocked over by her enthusiastic welcomes. Ava is house-trained and will keep her kennel area tidy as long as she's consistently let out. We have yet to test Ava with other dogs, but she has done fine with a nose-to-nose interaction. This sweet girl truly deserves a family to love and a place to call her own. Could Ava be the perfect match for you?

Any dog that is younger than 1 year old is considered a puppy. They come with age-appropriate vaccines, are dewormed, microchipped, on heartworm preventative, and if age allows spay/neutered. If they are not old enough to have the procedure done, we do require a $100 deposit which is refunded once the surgery is done. We require the spay/neuter to be done at 6 months and can schedule it at one of our vets if you wish to not use your own vet. If you do decide to go to your own vet, once proof of procedure is done, a refund can be issued. Puppy adoption fees are $350 + $100 refundable deposit.
