Yorkshire's loneliest dog who has spent 750 days in kennels
Staff at RSPCA Sheffield are asking Santa to grant their Christmas wish of finding a loving family for a dog who has spent nearly 800 days in kennels.
‘Sweet girl’ Nova, a 6-year-old lurcher, has spent over 750 days at RSPCA Sheffield, and staff are concerned that she will be spending her third Christmas in the shelter if she isn’t rehomed.
Nova came into the care of the centre because she wasn’t getting on with a new dog who was living in the home. Despite being in kennels for over two years, sadly, Nova has received little interest.

Staff at RSPCA Sheffield have described Nova as a “little star” who “adores her teddy bears and toys”. A spokesperson continued: “She will stand longingly at the kennel doorway holding a cuddly toy in her mouth. She will tilt her head and sing along to some pop songs when she hears them on the radio.
“Nova is affectionate once she gets to know you, and will lie across our staff members’ laps because she forgets her size. Nova walks nicely on a lead, but because she can be reactive with other dogs, she is muzzle trained to support her and her future family. Nova would love to go on regular walks in the great outdoors with her new family.”
Nova can live with older teenagers and is looking to be the only pet in her new home. Anyone who feels they could give Nova the loving home she deserves, is encouraged to fill out the online application form on the RSPCA website.
