UPDATE: Stop the clock! Nova has been adopted!! 🥳
It's practically unheard of for a cat-friendly dog to spend 211 days waiting for a forever home, but that's sadly become one-and-a-half-year-old Nova's reality. We're not sure what the hangup is! Is it because she's deaf? Being deaf doesn't stop Nova from being able to understand her humans and communicate her affection for them! Is it because she's missing bones in her hind legs? It doesn't stop her from running, playing, and having fun! Perhaps Nova just hasn't reached the right person yet, and maybe this will help. 🤞
