Nova is a spirited 1-year-old German Shepherd mix with a big heart and lots of potential! This young lady was found as a stray on a hiking trail, and she’s been working hard to adjust to shelter life. As a naturally active and intelligent dog, she sometimes feels a bit stressed here at the shelter. Because of her sensitive nature, Nova would do best in a calm, adults-only home with no other pets, where she can have a stable, predictable routine.

With experienced guidance, ongoing training, and lots of positive reinforcement, Nova will thrive as she builds her confidence. She loves being outside, so she’s dreaming of a family who enjoys outdoor adventures as much as she does! If you’re ready to give Nova the patient, loving home she deserves, she’ll be your most loyal and devoted companion.
