Nova is an 18 month old German Shepherd who was recently surrendered to the shelter. She and her brother Rocky (also looking for a home) were brought to the shelter because their owner had started working long hours with many business trips, and did not feel they were getting the attention they deserved. Sadly, Nova has not adjusted very well to the scary and loud shelter environment and immediately shut down. She is very shy at the shelter and needs a lot of positive reinforcement to go out. While Nova gains trust quickly, she is definitely very much stressed and shut down. She is happy to snuggle and be close to her favorite people, but will definitely need a few weeks in her new home to decompress before her true personality emerges. Nova's previous owner reported that she was friendly and playful with other dogs (and did grow up with a male dog), but at the shelter she has been very uncomfortable around the other dogs she has met here. For the time being we think it would be best to place Nova as an only dog, or with a patient owner who can do slow introductions and keep the dog separate. until comfortable with each other, Nova does take her treats very gently and is fairly easy to walk on a leash. This young lady has so much potential, she just needs the right family. Check her out ASAP!!
