I am needing to rehome my dog Ava. She is a small black chihuahua mix. She is the best dog I’ve ever had, so sweet, such a good personality, and great with all animals and people. Ava was diagnosed with diabetes last year. We have been trying to manage it the best we can, but we have a toddler at home and keeping her out of food and her frequent urinations are making it difficult. I want her to have a home that can she can be more comfortable in and her diabetes can be managed better.
