Meet Nova, the brilliant and affectionate canine with a heart as vast as the night sky. Having been reluctantly surrendered by her previous owner, Nova's intelligence shines through as she effortlessly responds to cues like sit, lay, come, paw, stay, and relax. Her crate training is impeccable, providing her with a sense of security in uncertain times, though her recent transition to the shelter has left her a bit jittery. Despite her nerves, Nova's love for adventure knows no bounds, particularly when it comes to hiking in the great outdoors.
While Nova's exuberance occasionally leads to accidental tumbles, especially around children, her gentle nature has made her a cherished companion in households with young ones. Accustomed to living with a 3 and 6-year-old, Nova's boundless energy and affectionate demeanor make her an ideal playmate for kids. Yet, her experience with other animals is limited, and she's currently honing her house training skills, eagerly awaiting a patient adopter to guide her on this journey of discovery and love.

More about this shelter
The Maryland SPCA connects wonderful pets to loving owners. We are not affiliated with any national animal organization, and we do not receive any government or United Way funding. Our mission is to prevent cruelty and neglect of animals through fostering the humane relationship between animals and people. We operate primarily in the Greater Baltimore Metropolitan area.
To make sure that our dogs and cats do not contribute to the pet overpopulation problem, every one is spayed or neutered before going into a new home. The cost is included in the adoption fee, as are the costs of shots and other necessary care. In addition, a free Positive Pooch class is available to our dog adopters.
There is no set time limit for how long an animal can remain in our adoption program. As long as an animal maintains general good health and a sound temperament, we keep him or her until adopted. We pride ourselves on providing premium care to the animals in a clean, pleasant environment. Our adoption staff works diligently to pair up adopters with the best animal match for their homes and lifestyles.
We transport animals from other shelters to our adoption center to help more animals get adopted. We also help pet owners find new homes for their pets so their animals don’t need to enter shelter care.
