Nova - Jindo Dog for Adoption in New York, New York

Meet Nova | Apply Now

Nova is a 7-year-old Jindo Mix weighing 48 lbs. To say she was just “lonely” doesn't begin to cover it: Nova survived a street life that was constantly cruel, harsh, and fraught with extreme danger. After a long and difficult rescue effort, she was finally brought to the safety of our center. When she first arrived, perhaps haunted by the terrifying threats of the outside world, she spent her days with her face buried tightly into the corner of the wall. She refused to eat and trembled with deep anxiety. Watching her reject food, our hearts broke, and all we could wish for was for her to eat just one peaceful meal and realize the danger was finally over.

But love works miracles. Away from the daily battle for survival, Nova gradually realized she was safe and has completely transformed. Today, she has grown healthily plump and has become the happiest girl who eagerly looks forward to her daily walks with the KK9 Rescue team. Her absolute favorite thing in the world is sniffing around the park and sharing delicious treats with her caretakers. These are the moments where she feels entirely safe and loved.

The anxious, hidden dog is gone. In her place is a beautiful soul with a personality as soft and gentle as her coat. She has developed a remarkably calm and warm temperament, learning to trust people with a serene heart.

The Jindo, a Korean native breed renowned for its loyalty, courage, and intelligence, is highly prized for its unwavering loyalty to its family. This medium sized, spitz type dog has a distinctive double coat that sheds seasonally. Known for their independent nature, Jindos require early socialization and firm, consistent training. With a strong prey drive and territorial instincts, they excel as hunters and watchdogs. Their deep bonds with their owners make them loving companions, albeit not suitable for inexperienced owners.
