Story
Nova is an 8 month old Aussie/Border Collie. She is looking for a job to keep her busy. She never lived in a house, was never on a leash or had a collar on. She was surrendered to Animal Control due to the fact they just left her run all over and were going to be facing tickets due to leash laws and dog running at large.
She is somewhat timid, but is being a good girl in the house and learning manners. She is housebroke using a doggie door. She gets along with the other dogs, but would recommend no small dogs because she wants to boss them around. She has the tendency to be jealous of other dogs getting your attention. And a fenced yard so she can run & play with balls & frisbees. She is a smart dog, just needs the right person to bring her best out of her. She sleeps beside the human bed at night and doesn't make a peep. She has taken a liken to the man of the house so might be a good companion to a male that likes to do outside activities like hiking, 4 wheeling, and so many options she would be up too.
Nova Is spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, treated for all of the intestinal parasites, and current on flea/tick and heartworm preventative. Because intestinal parasites are cyclical, your puppy may need additional treatment once you get him/her home. This is common and nothing to be alarmed about. Puppies and dogs need to be treated periodically for parasites throughout their entire lives.
The adoption fee is $550 if your adoption is prepaid prior to your pup's arrival. An additional $50 will be charged on puppies that are picked up from our Southbury CT adoption center, adopted at an event, or foster home. This additional fee is necessary in order to comply with CT HB 5368.
WANT TO MEET OUR DOGS IN PERSON? Check the Events tab on cprdogs.com for all weekend adoption event info. The majority of the dogs marked as 'meet me' will be there to see you!
More and more of our adopters are having fun with DNA tests on their pups. You might ask yourself why our breed guess is varying degrees of difference from the DNA tests. Most of our puppies are rescued from high kill shelters or other abandonment situations and we have no info on parents. When we rescue puppies that have no background info, we make our very best educated guess as to breed mix and age. Our guesstimate comes from years and years and years of animal welfare work and training, but our guesses won't always agree with your vet, your neighbor, your DNA test, etc. The most important thing to know about your puppy's breed mix is that most likely he/she is a Super Lovable Mutt made of many many many different breeds.
If you are a MA resident, your new family member is required to go through a mandatory 48 hour quarantine period at the Woburn MA isolation facility. Your new family member will be dropped off by our transport on Thursday and will be ready for you to pick him/her up on Saturday between 11 am-1 pm. An additional $100 fee will be added for any dogs picked up from the Woburn MA quarantine facility. This additional fee is necessary in order to comply with MA Order 405-CD-12 and Order 1-AHO-05.
