NOVA - Dutch Shepherd and Pit Bull Terrier Dog for Adoption in Joshua Tree, California

Meet Nova

Nova came to us from Palms N Paws with her six puppies.

Shes about a year and a half old, and now that her puppies are weaned, adopted, and off doing their own thing, its finally Novas turn.

And this girl is a GEM.

Walk up to her kennel and shell greet you with a wiggly little body and a toy in her mouth, like, Hi! You're here! Look what I have!

She loves her toys, loves the water, and is one of those dogs who is just really easy to be around. Shes quiet, respectful, sweet, and has the happiest little tail wag.

Below is a note from a volunteer that took Nova for a weekend shelter break:

Nova is very respectful in the house. She has great manners! She didnt potty in the house once. Nova loves to snuggle but will only comes onto furniture if invited. Very smart girl! We worked on sit, down, and paw. When you call her she comes!
