NOVA German Shepherd Dog Adult Female in Portland, Maine

My story
This precious Shepherd girl is called Nova and she has experienced one of the most horrific traumas a dog could ever endure.  Despite this event, she still adores people, other dogs and LIFE!  Nova formerly belonged to a struggling young family where she lived outside in a nasty, muddy pen in the owner's backyard. Since this family really could not properly care for her, they received assistance from a local animal welfare group. This group made sure Nova had a warm dog house with plenty of straw for bedding. They would also bring food and flea prevention. While this welfare group was doing a home visit and chatting with the owners, a nosey neighborhood dog broke out of his fence and rushed the unsuspecting group while they chatted.  The neighbor dog was viciously attacking Nova and the family's other dog. Everyone jumped in to break up the fight with no success.  As a last resort and full of adrenaline, the owner pulled out a knife and began stabbing the attacking dog.  Sadly, in all of the drama, he accidentally stabbed poor Nova. The family was devastated. They finally admitted after this incident, that Nova deserved a better life. They could not afford her medical treatment from the stab wound,  so they signed her over to our rescue. They also signed over their other dog. Nova is 3 years old, 70 lbs, spayed and vaccinated. We do believe that she is a pure bred German Shepherd.   Sadly, she is heart worm positive but her treatment has been started and is a very simple treatment that anyone can do. Treatment for her heartworms will be provided to accompany her to her adoptive family. Nova loves children and is a robust player with other dog. NO CATS!  This sweet, intelligent and vibrant girl deserves a better life! She has forgotten the past and soon all the visible marks will be forgotten too when her hair grows back!  If you are interested in giving Nova a fairytale ending to her life, please email us at ccrtennessee@gmail.com PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at /adoption.
