Nova Needs a Foster or Adopter to Secure Her Ride to Wisconsin on 5/29

Nova is currently in Georgia and needs a committed foster or adopter to secure her spot on transport to Cedarburg, WI with Mutt Life Dog Rescue. A committed home is required for Nova to make the trip north, and we’re hopeful her perfect family is out there waiting.

Meet Nova

Nova is a 3-year-old female Shepherd/Golden Retriever mix looking for a fresh start after being surrendered by her owner.

At her initial meet and greet, Nova was a little unsure around strangers, which is understandable with all the recent changes in her life. However, she showed no signs of aggression and quickly warmed up once given a little reassurance. After a few pets, Nova happily leaned in for attention and showed just how sweet and affectionate she really is. Shelter staff describe Nova as a super nice, friendly dog who has been easy to handle and pleasant to be around.

Per her previous owner, Nova does well with other adult dogs, both large and small, though she is not a fan of puppies. She has also been around children and reportedly does well with them.

Because Nova previously lived in a home, she is likely potty trained, crate trained, and already has a nice foundation. She also appears to be decent on leash, making her a smoother transition for someone looking for a dog past the puppy stage. She would be a good fit for most homes including a single person, retired couple, family dog, etc.

Nova is a lovely dog who seems ready to settle back into home life with a family of her own.

Age: 3 years
Gender: Female
Weight: 74 lbs
Breed: Shepherd/Golden Retriever Mix (best guess)

Heartworm Test: Negative

ADOPTION PROCESS:
1.) Apply: Fill out an adoption application completely and submit all necessary documents.

2.) Application Decision: approved applicants will be notified via phone call and email.

3.) Foster-to-Adopt Trial Period: After approval, you have the opportunity to do a meet and greet and bring your dog home! You get a 5-day foster-to-adopt (FTA) period to make sure it's the right fit.

4.) Final Decision: By the end of the FTA period, please let us know your final decision to adopt or return the dog to our rescue.

5.) Home Visit: After the adoption process, we conduct a home visit either in person or via Zoom meeting to ensure that everything is going well with the transition and to answer any final questions you may have.

6.) Neuter/spay for puppies: for dogs who are not fixed at the time of adoption, we will reimburse for the procedure once we receive proof of spay/neuter. The procedure MUST be done at HAWS Snip Clinic in Waukesha, WI, or Wisconsin Community Veterinarian Center in Madison, WI. If you would like to go through your veterinarian or another location, we will reimburse $125 once we receive proof of the procedure. We recommend spay/neuter around 6 months old.

**Note: Adoptions are not considered final until the dog is neutered/spayed if applicable**
