Nova's Story

***FOSTER OR ADOPTER NEEDED***<br/><br/>Name: Nova<br/>Nickname: Nova Girl, Little Shadow<br/><br/>Energy Level: Low to moderate<br/><br/>Descriptors: Affectionate, loyal, cuddly, sweet, sensitive, resilient<br/><br/>What we love most: Nova has come so far since being found as a stray, horribly matted and neglected. Despite everything shes been through, she still has so much love to give and is happiest curled up in a lap or snuggled beside her favorite person.<br/><br/>What she loves most: Being close to her people! Nova is a true lap dog who loves cuddling, soaking up attention, and spending quiet time with her favorite human. She also enjoyed grooming the cat she met in foster care.<br/><br/>Working on: Nova is still building confidence in new situations and around unfamiliar people. She can be vocal when shes unsure or hears something unexpected and may alert bark to let you know whats going on. Shes also almost fully house trained and continues to make great progress.<br/><br/>Dogs: Nova would do best as an only dog. She has shown resource guarding behaviors with other dogs and is happiest when she doesnt have to share her people or belongings.<br/><br/>Cats: Has done well with cats and even enjoyed grooming her feline friend.<br/><br/>Kids: 13+ please. Nova is looking for a quieter, lower-traffic home where she can feel safe and secure.<br/><br/>House Trained: Almost there! She continues to make progress with consistency and routine.<br/><br/>Crate Trained: Unknown<br/><br/>A Note from Nova:<br/>Novas past was clearly not an easy one. Found as a stray in terrible condition, she needed a complete makeover, including a shave-down, spay surgery, and dental care before she was ready to start her next chapter. What she wants now is simple: a patient person, a cozy lap, and a quiet home where she can finally feel safe. In return, shell be a devoted, affectionate companion who will love you with her whole heart.

One More Dog Rescue (Formerly Ruff Start Happy Tails)'s Adoption Policy
One More Dog Rescue (OMD), formerly Ruff Start Happy Tails, requires all potential adopters to fill out an adoption application and agree to a home visit prior to any adoption. Once the application is approved, a meet and greet will be scheduled between the potential adopter (s) and the dog. If the dog is adopted through One More Dog, an adoption contract must be signed, and we ask that a donation in the amount of $500.00 for puppies and adult dogs and $350.00 for senior dogs be made at the time of adoption to help our rescue cover a portion of the costs we incur through pull fees, vetting, and training.
