HELP!!! NOVA WAS TAKEN INTO THE SHELTER 10/2 injured but no owner has sadly come forward.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR EITHER A CHOW OR OR DOG SAVVY HOME, OR A FOSTER AND RESCUE FOR HER where she can rest while her pelvis heals. No further major medical may be needed, as the pelvis may be able to heal on her own, but a rescue group may also assist with further medical if needed - with a committed foster, or foster to adopt. However, she has not been eating either, it’s unclear if it’s the meds or why. Nova is listed as a 6 year young female chow mix, and weighs only 30 lbs so she is tiny.
