My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Novah is a darling boy with a calm and curious demeanor. Although sometimes bashful, once he's comfortable you'll be showered with doggie kisses! Novah enjoys the company of young children and other dogs, but he would also be content as your one and only.

He sleeps through the night without a peep, is house-trained, is working on crate-training, and does well when left at home in a gated area.

When Novah wants to play, his goofy side comes out and those silly antics are sure to make you laugh!

He has big feelings when he gets excited, and he may need occasional redirection for jumpy or mouthy behavior.

Novah loves going on adventures in the car! He has learned to sit when it's time to put on the leash, and then he's ready to check out the newest smells on walks.

Novah is no Olympic athlete, though, so he's content to lounge at home most of the time. Give him chews, treats, and a soft place to rest, and he'll be the happiest dog you know.

HEALTH
Novah is microchipped, neutered, current on his rabies vaccination, and will soon receive the remainder of his vaccinations.

HISTORY
Novah's owner could no longer care for him after the pet policy at their apartment complex changed.

PHYSICAL
Novah has glossy black fur with delicate white markings. His honey-brown eyes are as sweet as can be.

Adoption Process

  • Fill out an adoption interest application HERE.

  • Our goal is finding lifelong, loving homes for our animals, so we try to find the best match between animal and adopter. We can help advise you on which animals to meet based on your situation.

  • You can meet some of our animals at our weekend adoption events, or we can arrange for a meeting in the foster home. If it’s a good match, the foster parent will come to visit your home in person. This is to make sure your home is safe and secure for a new companion animal.

  • Note: IAR makes every effort to please our adopters, but our first concern must be for the animal’s welfare. We reserve the right to deny any application.

More about this rescue

IAR started with one woman's big dreams, a bigger heart, and a very distinctive purple pickup truck that helped her rescue countless of unwanted, abused, and homeless Triangle pets. Originally founded in 1994, IAR earned an official 501(c)(3) status in 1995. We are governed by a Board of Directors, managed by elected officers, and introduced IAR’s first paid position, General Manager, in June 2021. This role will assist with elevating our collective compassion to new heights and strengthening IAR’s impact as a whole.

Our mission is to rescue and provide safe and responsible care for homeless, abandoned, and abused animals. We shall strive to help all animals in need through our service programs. We will serve our communities through promotion of spay/neuter for all companion animals, and the education of children and adults in humane care, respect and responsibility for animals on this earth.
