Exhausted and frightened, she urinated and defecated on herself during the rescue.<br/><br/>Once safe, we discovered just how much she had endured. Nova was severely underweight and suffering from Anaplasmosis, Giardia, and Coccidia. She had also sustained small fractures to her pelvis and femur from being struck by a vehicle.<br/><br/>Despite everything she had been through, Nova never gave up.<br/><br/>Today Nova is healthy, healed, and ready for her forever family.<br/><br/>Nova is an incredibly smart girl who already knows how to sit and shake. She loves children, enjoys being around other dogs, and has a fun, talkative personality that keeps everyone entertained.
