Nova is a hefty girl who is good at escaping. She will need a diligent home - one who`s willing to go outside with her during potty breaks! Nova has an adventuresome spirit...she was never taught that the grass is not always greener on the other side! Nova loves people, loves her daily walks, and is just a joy to be around!
You must have an approved adoption application on file before coming to meet the animals.
It can take up to 7 business days for the application to be processed and approved. We will notify you once the process is complete, by phone or email.
Incomplete applications will delay the process and may not be processed.
Dog adoptions are $100 and includes the spay/neuter, microchip & Rabies Vaccines.
Submission of the adoption application is not a guarantee that the animal you are applying for will be available to you. We do not hold dogs during the application process; the animal could be adopted by a previously approved adopter or pulled by a rescue group.
The reason why we do not hold animals during the adoption process is this: to help keep our euthanasia rates down. The Daviess County Animal Shelter does not participate in the Managed Intake movement; we are still an open door facility. We are required to take in ANY animal (from a Daviess County resident), regardless of how full the shelter may be or the health or temperament of the animal being surrendered. When an animal has the opportunity to be adopted or go to rescue, we have to do so to keep kennel space available. We take in dozens of animals nearly each and every day. (Sometimes A LOT more, sometimes less.)
We believe it is in the best interest of all animals to keep an open door mentality – unwanted animals need an immediate place of shelter and protection, and the Daviess County Animal Care & Control is dedicated to providing such a life saving service for the furry & feathered companions of our county.

More about this shelter
The Daviess County Animal Shelter receives thousands of animals annually. Some of them are returned to their owners, some find new homes, but unfortunately some are never placed in a home. This is why it is so important that these animals find new homes.
