Meet Nova. Nova is a 4-year-old, 50-pound Husky/Shepherd mix with beautiful blue eyes and an even more beautiful personality.
Nova was saved from the euthanasia list at a county shelter after a flea allergy caused a secondary skin infection that the shelter was unable to treat. She has since been treated by a veterinarian, and her gorgeous coat is already growing back incredibly fast.
Today, Nova is a playful, affectionate girl who loves attention and is always happy to see her people. She is especially silly in the mornings - she will slap her long yard stick legs on the ground when she play bows and give you a “pep talk” to start your day. When you come home, be ready to be met with plenty of love and tail wags. Nova is always eager to accompany you - whether it’s going on a walk, going on a ride to Starbucks, or just chilling on the couch watching TV. Her people are her whole world!
Being a husky mix, you can expect some classic husky traits: she’s talkative, expressive, smart and occasionally stubborn. Nova would do best with someone who has experience with huskies or similar breeds and understands their unique personalities. She knows some basic commands and would likely enjoy continuing her training in her forever home.
Nova is house trained, crate trained, and loves car rides. She also loves going on strolls through the neighborhood and walks well on a leash. Although Nova is very calm in the home, she does need daily exercise and mental stimulation.
With other dogs, she would do best as an only dog or with a calm, compatible canine companion. Nova lives with cats in her foster home and would do fine with confident, dog-savvy cats.
After narrowly escaping a heartbreaking fate at the shelter, Nova is ready for the part of her story she was always meant to have — a loving forever home.
