World, meet Nova!

We brought Nova home from the Regina Humane Society on Thursday and we are thrilled to give her a loving home! :)

She an approximately 7 month old German Shep and Collie mix. At first I thought she must have some Lab in her but I think those two breeds are the most dominating ones. She was brought in as a stray about a week and a half before we adopted her. She is very nervous and very very energetic. She has to be all over the place all the time! She is very fearful though. We observed that she is scared when we stomp or try to grab her collar. She does not like it when we walk behind her and is always nipping at our hands when we touch her bum. We think she didn't have a very good home before she was brought in to the RHS. She does not like her crate at all, it was probably a punishment for her in the past. It's going to take a while for her to learn to trust us and for us to learn her language.

It's hard for us because we don't know anything about her past. We didn't even know if she was house trained or not... so far we think she is! We just have to learn to identify her "Gotta pee!" signals a bit better but we're working on it.

It's a huge deal, adapting to the new lifestyle. It's like trying to get to know a new friend but you don't speak the same language... well... actually that's exactly what it is!

Js is just smitten with her and she's going to be a spoiled little Daddy's girl, I can tell! (Can you?!)

She seems to be adapting to her new home and loves the backyard and being outside. She just wants constant petting and attention, that's all she asks!

We were really impressed with the level of service and support we got from the RHS and definitely recommend them to anyone who wants to give a loving pet their Forever Home!
