Animal Aid for Vermilion Area

To date, Animal Aid for Vermilion Area, a non profit 501(c)3 animal rescue organization established in 1995, located in South Louisiana, has helped rescue thousands of animals.AAVA has worked through 5 natural disasters, including hurricanes Katrina and Rita. In the aftermath of Katrina, they helped unite people with their pets and saved cattle from drowning and starving.AAVA also helped pass the Pet Evacuation Bill that keeps service animals and pets from being left behind during a disaster.AAVA has been helping animals and their owners for over 25 years, and one of their goals is to rescue and rehome as many animals as possible from the local Animal Control facility, a high kill pound with no adoption program.While all pounds are always full of dogs and cats for adoption, we are facing a particular challenge: this is a high kill pound with no adoption program

Meet Sophie

Meet Sophie, a 2-3-year-old Belgian Malinois with a big heart and an even bigger love for playtime! This fun-loving girl is full of energy, and she’ll happily zoom around the yard and chase after a ball (though she's still figuring out the "bring it back" part). Sophie has learned “sit” and is working on leash manners, as well as “heel,” “come,” and “down.” She enjoys rough-and-tumble play with other dogs, so she’d be happiest with a dog buddy who matches her play style.Sophie is kennel trained, seems to be potty trained, and does well with adults and kids 10 and up. She’s a little jumper when excited and can be a blanket-chewer if bored, so she'll need a home that can provide lots of physical and mental engagement. She hasn’t been tested with cats, but she does have a prey drive.Sophie would thrive in an active household, especially one familiar with her breed, and would benefit from another high-energy dog as a playmate. This incredible dog has so much love and energy to share with her forever family!
