ABOUT avery

Avery senses energy. And is drawn to the kind, calm type. That makes sense!

Being blind and deaf, Avery relies mostly on touch and scent to find safety in her world. The kennel environment is busy and Avery is keenly tuned into the stress of the other dogs, which just isn’t great for her system.

And yet …

Once Avery recognizes you and your energy meets her standard  … lookout! Then you’ve got the most playful, goofy, cuddly, high steppin’ girl ever! She’s a staff favourite because she’s such a sweet snuggler and treat lover!

We’re looking for a family with no children to take the time to connect with Avery so that she can learn to trust their energy. Can you imagine the purity of the love that can be experienced in this relationship? She can’t see you or hear you … but will still love you.

She was surrendered to us by her family when they moved to a house with stairs which were a hazard for her orthopedic issues. A home with no stairs is required. She loves to walk and return to the comfort of long naps. She likes other dogs but can be reactive at first, understandably. Another steady dog in the home would be a possibility, provided lots of visits to Dog Tales come first. 

Due to her visual and hearing impairment she can be reactive and lunge when meeting new people or dogs. It’s important her adopter takes things slow for introductions. Avery needs consistency and to feel safe in these situations. Dog Tales will provide her family with training before and after she is adopted to ensure a smooth transition. Her family would need to visit frequently to get to know each other.
