Nova

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 4 years

Nova unfortunately did not get a fair start in life. Rescuer Timea found her hidden under a car. She soon discovered that something was seriously wrong: around Nova's neck was a rope that had grown further and further into her skin. Timea decided to help Nova right away. She took her in and made sure the rope was removed. Afterwards, Nova was given the name Nova, as a symbol of a fresh start. Because that is exactly what this sweet dog deserves: a new beginning after her difficult past. So that Nova can have the peace and care she needs to recover, she is currently staying at a shelter. There she can recover from what she has been through and heal in complete calm. Despite her past, Nova quickly showed that she is happy with the people who help her. She responded cheerfully to Timea and even seems to "talk back" when she receives attention. That small moment shows that behind her difficult start is a dog who loves contact and wants to discover life again. We hope Nova's new beginning will eventually lead to her own loving home. A place where she is safe, well cared for, and never has to experience again what happened to her in the past. Would you like to give Nova the chance at a truly new beginning and offer her a safe place where she will be loved and welcome forever? Photos and Videos Nova is looking for a good home ❤️ Size: approx. 50 cm / approx. 20–23 kg Born: estimated 2022 Neutered: Yes Location: Sovata, Romania Cats: unknown Horses: unknown Temperament: friendly, gentle, calm, curious We think Nova can develop into a lovely household dog with your help! She is doing well with her foster carer in Romania, but she will also need to get used to a new living environment. Her new owner must be patient and will need to guide her well through this.

Nova kreeg helaas geen eerlijke start in het leven. Rescuer Timea zag haar verborgen onder een auto. Al snel ontdekte ze dat er iets goed mis was: rond Nova's nek zat een touw dat steeds verder in haar huid was gegroeid. Timea besloot Nova direct te helpen. Ze nam haar mee en zorgde ervoor dat het touw werd verwijderd. Daarna kreeg Nova de naam Nova, als symbool voor een nieuwe start. Want precies dat is wat deze lieve hond verdient: een nieuw begin na haar moeilijke verleden. Om Nova de rust en zorg te geven die ze nodig heeft om te herstellen, verblijft ze momenteel bij een opvangadres. Daar kan ze bijkomen van wat ze heeft meegemaakt en in alle rust herstellen. Ondanks haar verleden liet Nova al snel zien dat ze blij is met de mensen die haar helpen. Ze reageerde vrolijk op Timea en lijkt zelfs terug te ‘praten' wanneer ze aandacht krijgt. Dat kleine moment laat zien dat er achter haar moeilijke start een hond zit die graag contact maakt en het leven weer wil ontdekken. We hopen dat Nova's nieuwe begin uiteindelijk mag leiden naar een eigen, liefdevol thuis. Een plek waar ze veilig is, goed verzorgd wordt en nooit meer hoeft mee te maken wat haar in het verleden is overkomen. Wil jij Nova de kans geven op een écht nieuw begin en haar een veilige plek bieden waar ze voor altijd geliefd en welkom is?

Bij haar opvangster in Roemenië doet zij het al goed, maar zij zal ook moeten wennen aan een nieuwe leefomgeving. Haar nieuwe baasje moet geduldig zijn en zal haar hierbij goed moeten begeleiden.

About Nova

What life with Nova looks like

Nova is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Stichting Help een Hond in Netherlands.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇳🇱Adopting from Netherlands

Dutch shelters typically require a household assessment and an adoption contract. Animals are routinely sterilized, microchipped, and registered in the national pet database (NDG) before placement.

Frequently asked

Adopting Nova, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Nova?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Stichting Help een Hond handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Nova on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Nova if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Stichting Help een Hond will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Nova already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Nova isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Stichting Help een Hond early rather than rehoming privately; they know Nova and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (NL). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
