Meet Avery! ??

Hello! My name is Avery, and I'm a beautiful white Lab mix with soft hints of apricot. I'm a female about 1 year old, and I arrived at the shelter with my friend August, whose story will be shared a little later.

I recently returned from spending a few weeks in a foster home. Unfortunately, August and I developed a dangerous habit of chasing cars and venturing into the roadway, so we came back to the shelter for our safety. I'll need a responsible home with secure fencing, supervised outdoor time, and help learning that cars are not something to chase.

I have received my medical examination, and-darn it-I tested positive for heartworms. That may help explain why this summer heat has been especially difficult for me. My future family will need to understand my medical needs and help me through treatment. I'm also scheduled to be spayed next week.

August and I are now available for adoption. You may be interested in one of us or both-we don't mind! What we need most is for someone to notice us, spend a little time getting to know us, and give us the opportunity to show what wonderful companions we could become.

Could you come and spend some time with me? A simple visit might be the beginning of my forever story.
