Nova is a 16-year-old Chihuahua in Millcreek, UT, who needs $700 for Dental Cleaning, Ear Lavage, Tear Duct Lavage.

Nova came into our life so that he could enjoy his golden years somewhere safe and full of love. He hasn't been to a vet in a long time and has some pretty serious needs but is in overall good shape once we get him fixed up. He has really began to relax and even wag his tail! He still has a good appetite and definitely has a few more years left to enjoy.

Nova has it turns out is an extremely cuddly puppy. He likes to be held he likes to cuddle when he sleeps and is perfectly fine sleeping at your feet. Although it's been a bit of adjustment for our other dog they are getting to know each other and starting to like each other more. Nova is an extremely sweet puppy even though he's had a rough life.

We want to be able to give Nova the best golden years that he has available. Somewhere that is safe and larger dogs won't topple him over. And somewhere where he can sleep his days away comfortably and not be anxious or in pain. Every once in awhile Noble will get the Zumiez and even though he is older he will still run up and down the hall with the largest smile I've ever seen on his face.

Currently Nova needs major dental work that has been quoted to us at about $1,500 because he will most likely have to have all of his teeth removed. This condition with his teeth has caused his ears to become infected as well as his tear ducts to become clogged however if he gets this done the veterinarian has a good outlook for him.

I am currently in nursing school and trying to work full-time as well as my boyfriend is working full-time to pay the bills. We've been trying to save up to get this done however with the current state of the nation and economy it has made it next to Impossible to do alone.
