My story

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

*** AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION, FOSTER, or FOSTER TO ADOPT ***

Meet Nova! She is currently enrolled in our P.A.C.K. Program, a 9-week intensive program for routine obedience, agility, and handling training with a prison inmate trainer and she is almost ready to show off her new skills! Her new abilities include 'sit', 'down', 'shake' and more! New adopters should realize that PACK Program graduates will require regular, ongoing reinforcement of learned behaviors in order for them to become permanent.

Nova had a tough start in life, but she’s full of love and resilience. This brave girl came to us with an old injury to her right front leg — we’re not sure what happened, though it’s possible she was struck by a vehicle. She walks a little wonky, and her leg may get sore from time to time, but it sure doesn’t slow her down!

At this time, amputation isn’t needed, though as Nova grows, her new family should be prepared for the possibility that it might be in the future. She may also need occasional pain management to keep her comfortable — but through it all, she remains happy, playful, and full of life.

She does really well with other dogs and does a good job at matching their play style and energy. She does well in her crate too & lets you know when she needs to go outside.

Even with her leg injury Nova has some hops! She's hopped a baby gate and 4' fence in the past, so she'll need a secure 6' fence in her new home.

She's a young gal who is looking for a new pace to call home. She'll graduate towards the middle of February. Apply to meet her today!
