My story

Nova is a tiny dog with a big heart for the people she trusts most. This adorable little chihuahua mix came to the shelter after her previous owner could no longer manage her medical needs, and now Nova is hoping to find a calm, understanding home that will love her for exactly who she is. Once Nova is comfortable with people she is so much fun - enjoys walks, cuddling and barking at things that she finds annoying, Nova does have skin allergies and will most likely need ongoing apoquel medication, which costs about $40 per month. With good care, this sweet girl is ready to settle into a comfortable new chapter. Her skin was in rough shape, but she makes progress every day and is looking great. Nova can be shy and suspicious when meeting new people, and she prefers to take introductions at her own pace. Once you are part of her circle, though, she is a loyal, funny little best friend who loves chasing toys and balls around with her favorite people nearby. Nova may be able to live with another calm dog, but any potential dog house mates will have t meet her first at the shelter.If you are interested in adopting Nova, please come to the shelter on Mondays (the shelter is closed for Memorial Day), Wednesdays and Thursdays between 12-4pm during our walk-in hours. If you are unable to come to the shelter during those hours, please email dogs@worcesterarl.org to see what times may be available by appointment.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Nova, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
