Nova is a beautiful 1-1/2 year old female Husky who arrived at the HSOV on December 5, 2023 after being picked up on Ohio Avenue in Belpre Ohio by the Washington County Ohio Dog Warden. Nova was wearing a nice pink 'girlie' collar, but there was neither an id tag nor a dog tag on her collar ... And she was not microchipped.
Nova has a white/cream medium-haired coat with subtle black shading, a magnificent long curled fluffy tail, and a classic Husky face with a slender muzzle and large erect ears. Nova's left eye is brown and her right eye is pale blue.
This little sweetheart has a happy, outgoing personality and was full of playful mischief when HSOV Lead Canine Kennel Tech Jared Nash accompanied her for outdoor glamour photos on December 6th. Nova was in good hands with Jared and Nova pranced around posed as though she was a wanna-be contestant in the Westminster 'Best of Show' competition.
Nova weighs 47 lbs and walks fairly well on a leash.
We've learned that Nova is NOT good cats.
In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Nova was held for three days so that her family would have an opportunity to reclaim her with proof of ownership. Surprisingly nobody called or came looking for this beautiful girl.
UPDATE: Nova went home with a foster family on February 7, 2024 who plans to adopt her after she is spayed.
Nova was spayed on February 13, 2024 and was also given rabies vaccine.
Nova came back to the HSOV on July 23, 2024 and is available for adoption.
Nova was adopted on July 27, 2024 but, unfortunately, Nova was returned on July 29, 2024 because she was exhibiting food aggression behavior.
This beautiful girl is looking for an experienced handler who can help her overcome her behavior around food.
