Nova – ID #18541 – Kennel #875 Arrived April 25th – German Shepherd/Old English Sheepdog Mix – Black & Tan – Female – 4 years old – 53 lbs – Will be spayed prior to adoption – Up to date on vaccines – Heartworm negative Meet Nova — a breathtakingly gorgeous black and tan German Shepherd and Old English Sheepdog mix with a magnificent flowing coat and a sweetness that is simply impossible to put into words. This stunning 4-year-old girl arrived at the shelter after her former family was contacted and never came for her, and the heartbreak of that fact is matched only by the heartbreak of seeing a dog this extraordinary waiting in a kennel for someone to recognize her worth.   Nova knows sit, stay, and down — and she performs them with the kind of attentiveness and intelligence that makes it abundantly clear that someone once invested real time and love into her. She is dog friendly and wonderful with children, making her a truly versatile and family ready companion who is prepared to walk straight into a loving home and be everything a family could ever dream of in a dog.   At 4 years old Nova is in the absolute prime of her life — mature, settled, and fully the magnificent dog she was always meant to be, yet with so many beautiful years still ahead of her just waiting to be spent with the right family by her side. She is heartworm negative and up to date on all of her vaccines, and she will be spayed prior to adoption — ready for the fresh start she so deeply deserves.   If you have been looking for a gorgeous, intelligent, sweet natured, and deeply devoted companion who will take your breath away every single day, come meet Nova in Kennel #875. Her former family did not come back for her — but the right family is still out there, and she deserves nothing less than everything.
