Emmet County Animal Shelter

We live in a primarily rural area with a 50% poverty level and 40% non Caucasian/transient population. Due to the farmer mentality or disposable mentality of our area many pets find them selves homeless due to no fault of their own. We take in animals that are neglected, abandon, injured or just unwanted. We rehabilitate them and then re-home them through our adoption process. We have been solely foster based since 2010 and are currently building our new facility. We do it all with volunteers and we do it because we love it! The animals deserve better and we try our best to offer them that by doing what we can, when we can, the best we can, with what we have and with all our heart.

Meet Nova

***The first step in the adoption process is to complete the application at www.emmetcountyanimalshelter.org*** This pretty girl is Nova! She is the mom to the GSD/Mastiff pups. Nova came from a home of neglect for many years.  She is very much a shepherd in personality and an experienced and patient owner would be what she needs to thrive!  Nova is about 5 years old and for all of those years her life has lacked consistency, stability, a reliable food source. Even water was a resource that was limited.  She has likely not always been treated kindly either and training was not a priority in her life.  However, even given the challenges this girl has faced she is eager to love.  She very much wants to do a good job and she is excited to see the people that have shown her gentle loving attention.  Nova would probably do best as an only dog or with a confident gentle dog that could show her how things are done.  Nova is cautious when meeting people for the first time but warms up quickly. The shelter environment does cause her some anxiety but we feel she would do wonderful on a schedule in a home where she understood what was expected of her in an environment that was focused on physical and mental exercises.  She is gentle with toys and not destructive.  She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations and microchipped.  Her adoption fee is 275.00 It is Nova's time to shine....she just needs the right home to help her on the rest of her journey to a happy ever after!
