Meet Nova, a four year old German Shepherd/Grey Hound mix weighing 58 pounds (although she is quite overweight).
Nova`s story is a sad one, she is quite literally the stereotypical case of her owners getting a puppy and no longer wanting her. She came in as a stray and we called the owners on the microchip and were told we had the wrong number. Some people came in who help with the greenway and said the chipped owner had owned the dog for a while and were homeless. When she was told by them that the dog is at YHS she told them that she is fine with that as she left it at the park because she now has puppies that she would rather have. The greenway people said she has been found multiple times by them before being returned to her owner and she is good with dogs of all sizes and even their cats.
Nova is so cute; she does a little happy dance when she gets excited in her kennel. She does need to lose weigh in order to stay healthy and live a long life. She is so friendly, loves going for walks and very active even with her size so we think she will lose her weight without issue. This silly lady is treat motivated and keeps us laughing.
This pet is available for adoption on 12/24/2024 at 11:49 AM at the Yakima Humane Society adoption center. If you recognize this animal please contact the adoption center at 509-457-6854.
Did you know YHS lets local community members FOSTER TO ADOPT? That`s where you and the pet make sure you`re a good fit for one another by having a fun sleepover prior to finalizing your adoption. It`s a win-win for everyone! Just ask our front desk staff about how it works.
Interested in adopting this or another YHS pet? Please complete our adoption questionnaire found at: https://yakimahumane.org/adopt/apply/
Our adoption fee includes a lovable companion, spay/neuter, vaccinations and intestinal worming, flea/tick treatment, rabies vaccine (for pets over 3-4 months of age) and a microchip with nationwide registration. Your adoption fee helps support YHS and our spay/neuter efforts in the community to end overpopulation of cats and dogs.
If you have any questions, please e-mail us at adoption@yakimahumane.org.
