My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

What my friends at ACC say about me:

I would appreciate slow introductions to new people and places to help me feel safe.

I would do best in a home with only adult humans.

I prefer to call the shots and enjoy coming to you when I'm ready for pets.

I will need daily physical activity to keep me healthy and happy!

A volunteer writes: Nova! What a life she's lived in her 10 months on this earth. And sweet in spite of it all. At 6 months old she was left with a friend to watch. Her guardian didn't return for her, and unable to care for her longer, the friend brought her to ACC with lovely notes and assuring us she is a great dog. Understandably scared at the tender age or 8 months, Nova initially struggled at the shelter. She needed to be carried to the van, and was tense with all the new people around her. When we first met she was reserved and shy, so we took it slow and met again a few weeks later. This time Nova was wiggly and bouncy, she pranced along by my side as we walked, nestled into my lap to eat her snacks and showed off her magnificent bunny ears and toys. It was so wonderful to see her open up and match the notes from her most recent home.

Nova has done well with other dogs at the shelter. She's available to a home with some experience, that will continue to use positive reinforcement to keep her experiences with the world positive as she grows. Meet her at Queens ACC.
