About this Dog
NOVA was owner surrendered to MOGS approximately 43-45 days pregnant and desperately sick and underweight. She had long-term untreated double ear infections, one that was so bad it took three rounds of antibiotics to cure, and she will never lift that ear again. She had almost 1/3 of her fur missing, along with elephant skin around her hips, due to a massive flea infestation that went untreated. Her skin was torn and scratched from digging at the fleas and that caused systemic bacterial and yeast infections. She had one of the worst parasite infections we'd seen in a long time, and was vomiting and pooping trash for three days. TEMPERAMENTNOVA is a sweet, even-tempered dog that can be quite a big goofball at times. She is truly very smart, and learns most things quickly, as long as she gets adequate exercise daily. Nova is -very- high energy, and can sometimes become overwrought by that, so she is working diligently in her foster home to learn that she does not always need to go 100 mph. She loves to chase balls, either by herself, or with her favorite humans. Nova came to MOGS with zero traing, boundaries or socialization skills, so once her puppies were adopted out, she began working daily on several basic obedience skills, with safety ones being her first focus - sit, down, wait (to stop her from bolting doors and other threshholds) and free (her release word). She can follow both verbal commands and hand signals. She is also crate trained and housebroken. Nova is still a work in progress on a leash. OTHER ANIMALSNova is young, excitable and still unaware of her own size and strength, so has been overwhelming towards all of the other GSD's in her foster home. Until she is significantly more socialized and able to manage her body and space better, she would much prefer to be an only dog in the home, but may be able to be integrated with a male dog of similar size, energy and play style (rough) with multiple, slow introductions under supervision. Nova has a -very- high small prey drive, and cannot be placed in a home with cats, small dogs or other small prey-type animals. PEOPLENova loves people, and craves attention of her foster mom and any other handlers that she has met. She has been okay with teens under controlled meetings, but due to still working to not jump on, run over and run through people, she will not be placed in a home with young children. MEDICAL Nova has been treated for all of the medical conditions that she arrived to the rescue with, and is considered to be healthy, with no other known medical issues at this time. She does have one ear that was so badly infected for so long, that it does not stand up, and flops halfway. Nova was tested for, and is Heartworm Negative. Nova has been vaccinated, has a current rabies tag, is microchipped, and has been spayed. If you're looking for a gorgeous, young, trainable German Shepherd who will love you forever,NOVA may be your ideal family member! NOVA'S ADOPTION FEE: $350 This fee covers only part of what we spend to vet, board and rehab the dogs we save. On average we spend over $450 on each dog. We made a decision to keep our adoption fee at the 2005 level even though vet prices have doubled and tripled since then. We are constantly fundraising to cover the deficit. At minimum, your adoption fee includes the dog's spay/neuter, heartworm test, heartworm treatment if needed, rabies shot, distemper/parvo shot, bordatella shot, deworming, monthly heartworm and flea preventives, and microchip. In many cases it also includes surgery and various types of vet treatment for standard issues such as hot spots, ear infections and so on.INTERESTED IN ADOPTING NOVA?Complete an Adoption Application Now!

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.
$0.0 is Nova's current balance
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.
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!
