Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Nova is a loving and friendly female dog who sometimes needs a minute with new people. She is an athletic dog with a playful spirit, and her funny personality is sure to bring joy to anyone's life. Nova is an affectionate dog who loves to cuddle up with her human friends. She is very loyal to those she loves, and she will be your best friend for life. Unfortunately, Nova has had a rough start in life. Her owners abandoned her, leaving a neighbor caring for her and getting her to us. We were told her owner's were always putting their needs above Novas and this has caused some anxiety with her. Nova will need a patient home where someone is around most of the time. Despite this hardship, Nova remains a good-natured dog who is eager to find her forever home. She loves other dogs and would do best living with a confident dog. She is also good with cats, so she would be a great fit for a home with feline friends. She lived with a 10 yr old child and loved her! Nova is 2 years old and is ready to finally have a loving secure home. If you are looking for a dog who will be your best friend and provide you with lots of love, Nova is the one for you!
Adoption fee-$200

More about this shelter
We're a small shelter in Vermont covering 11 towns in Windsor County. We have a small but very dedicated staff, and an active volunteer program. We have been rescuing cats and dogs since our inception in 1941, when a wonderful woman turned her barn into a shelter. Since then we've grown quite a bit and have recently redone our entire kennel area - we have sun tubes for natural light, radiant heat in the floors, a music program and an aromatherapy program. All through the generous donations of the public. Our cats live comfortably in community cat rooms where they are free to roam and climb and play - one cat room even has a fully fenced outdoor enclosure. We have acres of field for dog walking, and a small agility course set up in an outdoor kennel. We have a large puppy room, and a larger still puppy play area outside.
