Rehome | From One Loving Family to Another

Meet Ava, a lively one-year-old American Pitbull Terrier and Whippet mix from Glenwood, MN, whose playful spirit and loving heart make her a truly special companion. With her sleek tan coat and expressive eyes, she’s always curious and ready for an adventure—whether that’s romping around outside, going on a walk, or curling up for a cozy snuggle at the end of the day!

Ava is full of youthful energy and adores spending quality one-on-one time with her favorite humans. He’s a big fan of Kongs, stuffed animals, peanut butter, food in general, and chew bones, making playtime and learning both fun and enriching. When she's ’s not busy exploring or playing, she’s happiest when she can be close to her people, soaking up attention and companionship. One of her most endearing quirks? The sheer excitement she shows when her loyal companion arrives home, her kisses, and her snuggles at bedtime—she knows it’s snuggle time, and she’s all in!

This smart pup already knows commands like “sit,” “lay,” “stay,” and “no,” and she’s house-trained and crate-trained, making her transition into a new home smoother! She does well when left alone for periods of time, but Ava thrives around people and enjoys making new human friends. She would do best in a home without other pets, as she prefers to be the center of attention. Her ideal home has a fenced yard where she can burn off some of his youthful energy and a caregiver who can dedicate time to bonding with her every day.

Ava hasn’t had much experience with children or cats, so any introductions should be made gradually to ensure a smooth adjustment. She’s a healthy pup with up-to-date vaccinations, ready to bring joy and companionship to a home where she can continue to flourish!

Ava comes from a home where she was born and raised. She has never been abused, only loved.

If you’re looking for a devoted, playful, and affectionate canine companion who will be your loyal sidekick through all of life’s moments, Ava is ready to meet you! Could she be the perfect fit for your home?

For adoption inquiries, reach out and give Ava her next loving home!
