About this Dog
Hello I’m looking to re home my staffordshire terrier This is Nova, Nova and I have been together for about six years now. She was a stray when I got her, believed to be abused and used as a litter dog. She has been a great companion the last six years, listens to commands, is house trained, loves to play with toys, is okay with the bath and getting her nails trimmed, she does okay around other dogs. She's great around kids. I'm a single father with a 11 month old son, I have a studio apartment and I'm constantly working to make ends meet, it's breaking my heart but she needs more than I'm able to provide for her right now. More space, more attention, more walks and playtime, She does suffer with high anxiety (being alone, loud noises, she's terrified of thunderstorms, fireworks). The loud noises and thunderstorms cause her to tear things up when I'm not home,I can no longer mentally or financially take it,I've tried anxiety meds, thunder shirt, hide and seek treat stuff, dog anxiety tv, lick mats, kong toys, and other alternatives to try and keep her occupied. She would be best suited with someone or a family with someone in a stay at home situation. I’m asking a rehoming fee of $60 She'll come with what's left of her food, All toys, leashes and harnesses I have for her

Adopt Nova and Receive Nova's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Nova's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.

How will Nova receive the contribution?
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Nova, thank you for providing a home and a loving family! Please begin the process of claiming Nova's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Nova was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Nova’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
What happens to unclaimed funds?
We want the Nova’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Nova’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
