The poor pup had been treated with absolute contempt by somebody. Cofounder of Twenty Paws Rescue Linda Montgomery tells The Dodo:
All her feet were broken, all her digits. We believe there was forced trauma to her head.
Nobody knew how she'd ended up like this. But things were about to change for Avery: two volunteers from Twenty Paws picked her up and began the search for her forever home.

It's been three years since they saved Avery, and yet her future is still uncertain. She is now waitingat a boarding facility in New York City for somebody to finally take her home. Gorgeous Avery has had a rough time of it too, being returned to the shelter three times after adoption due to difficulties with the other animals.And yet Avery is still laid-back and eternallyoptimistic. Montgomery continues:
She's so resilient. I'm telling you, this dog has been through more than any other dog we've had. She's got the biggest smile all the time; her tail is also wagging no matter what.
