Story
In 2021, Hazelnut and her puppies, the Nutty Crew, were adopted from Rescue Row. Unfortunately, we recently had to welcome Nova, formerly Macadamia, back into our care. She was adopted out with her sister, Cashew, but the pair started exhibiting littermate syndrome at about a year of age. Most notably, Nova and Cashew began teaming up on the other two dogs in the home. Their family tried to make it work for two years, but it eventually became too much to handle. Unfortunately, the only way to truly stop littermate syndrome is to separate the dogs. Cashew stayed with her family and Nova rejoined Rescue Row, and we are so relieved to report that neither are causing issues any longer. Nova is timid-natured but a very, very sweet pup. It took her a few days to get used to her foster home, but she has adjusted well to her new routine. She is shy when she meets new people, so potential adopters will have to realize that she may not be your best friend right away! She absolutely loves teenagers and lights up around them. She loooves food and treats, so that makes it relatively easy to win her over. Nova does well with the other dogs in her foster home and has recently started trying to play with one of them. She is a big cuddler and seizes the opportunity to sit on any open lap. She is both potty trained and kennel trained. Nova will bark at loud noises so no apartments please! Nova is a 3 year old Chihuahua mix weighing 12.4lbs. If you are interested in adding her to your family, please visit rescuerowinc.org to fill out an application!

Rescue Row is a 501(c)3 (non-profit) all volunteer dog rescue organization serving the DFW Metroplex. We are dedicated to rescuing dogs in shelters, dogs in abusive or neglectful situations, and dogs surrendered by their owners because of difficult circumstances. We place dogs in loving, responsible, committed permanent homes, following a comprehensive adoption process, which includes taking considerable care in finding good matches and educating prospective adopters about the responsibilities and costs of bringing a dog into their homes and lives. Dogs in our care are spayed or neutered, microchipped, receive all appropriate veterinary care and treatment, and placed in nurturing foster homes while they await placement in their permanent homes. We assist dogs in distress without regard to age, breed or ease of placement. Dogs in the greatest need take priority. Finally, we strive to work with shelters and other rescue and humane organizations to develop a network of supporters and volunteers in order to create a better world for homeless dogs.
