Here's what the humans have to say about me:
This gorgeous girl is unbelievably sweet and gentle. She is learning how wonderful life can be and what it is like to be loved and showered with affection. She is very well behaved and surprisingly quiet. She listens well and knows her name and comes when called. She is learning what it is like to be walked on a leash.
Nova does well with my 10 year old step daughter. She seems to be a little shy and timid around other dogs at first. Nova would love a furever home of her own that had a fenced yard and humans that would work with her, be understanding and patient. She would do best in a quieter home as well. Nova is housebroken too! Whomever adopts Nova is going to be very lucky to have such a sweet sweet girl! Nova is estimated to be about 2-3 years old and 28 lbs. Since we don't know at all what doggy genes are in the dogs make up (we don't know who mom and dad are!), we are just guessing on breed and size when grown.
All dogs are spayed or neutered prior to adoption. They have all had a vet exam, are up to date on vaccinations, have been given a dewormer, are treated for fleas, have a heartworm test if over 6 months old and are up to date on a heartworm preventative.
Please note that because we require a home visit at the time of adoption we can only place animals in homes within a 60 mile radius of Minneapolis. If you are interested in meeting this dog please fill out the pre-adoption application on our website at http://www.safehandsrescue.org under Adopt and we will get back to you to arrange a meeting in the foster home.
We also have an Adoptable Dog Meet & Greet on Saturday October 29, 2016, at Fetch Delivers Warehouse, 783 Harding St. NE. Suite 150, Minneapolis, MN 55413, from noon - 2 pm. Occasionally dogs cannot make it to the Meet & Greet, therefore feel free to verify if your dog of interest is able to attend. Please bring a copy of your pre-adoption application.
