Nova's Story

*** AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION, FOSTER, or FOSTER TO ADOPT ***<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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!<br/><br/>At this time, amputation isn't needed, Nova may need special care throughout her life due to this old injury. She may need occasional pain management to keep her comfortable - but through it all, she remains happy, playful, and full of life.<br/><br/>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. <br/><br/>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. <br/><br/>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!

Black Dog Animal Rescue's Adoption Policy
BDAR considers pet adoption to be a privilege and that good pet owners can demonstrate a history of responsible practices. Our basic requirements are as follows: Adopters must be at least 18 years of age Adopters’ current pets must be current on their rabies vaccination per local ordinances Adopters must be able to provide a current veterinary reference if they own other pets or have recently owned pets If the adopter rents, they must be able to provide a landlord reference stating that pets are allowed on the property Adopter cannot intend for the animal to be kept as an outdoor only pet, or for the primary mode of containment to be tethering Adopters must be a good match for the animal in question as determined by our adoption counselors Our adoption fees includes spay or neuter, current age appropriate vaccinations, microchip with lifetime registration, a free first vet exam, and 30 free days of pet health insurance. A note about our adoption fees: BDAR utilizes a variable pricing structure for all of its adoptable animals. Adoption fees are determined based on an animal's perceived desirability, age, training or medical investment, and the length of time they have been available for adoption. Some animals are priced higher than others. These animals' adoption fees provide a legacy gift for others in the program who may need additional resources in order to get the same chance in a forever home.
