About Nova

Meet Nova! This lovely 4-year-old Miniature American Shepherd is ready for a new beginning with the right family. Weighing around 37 pounds, she was surrendered when her previous family could no longer care for her. She's house trained and crate trained, having done well with dogs and children, according to her past experiences. Nova is an intelligent and active girl who needs an experienced owner. She thrives on structure, exercise, and mental challenges. Be mindful of her escape-artist tendencies; a securely fenced yard and responsible supervision are essential. She is not suited for homes with small dogs, cats, or chickens. Nova deserves someone who truly understands her needs and can provide the consistency and commitment she craves. This bright girl is spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on her vaccinations. Although she tested heartworm positive, her treatment is sponsored through our partnership with Rockwall PAWS. Ready to give Nova the home she deserves? Apply now!
