Nox is a gorgeous, approx 7 year-old girl. Originally, Nox's mom, Juno and her 7 pups, were found a hot summer on a SD reservation, hungry, thirsty, emaciated, and crusty with mange. Reservation dogs lead a very hard life with no shelter, little food, and no vet care. Many of them die young due to accidents, deprivation, and/or sickness among other causes. We are so glad that we were able to help Nox and her family! Nox is one of 7 puppies from the Juno (aka the Roman Gods) litter. Nox, named for the Roman goddess of night, certainly has the appearance befitting her name. Nox was adopted as a puppy and was recently returned when her owners moved. This sweetheart is a little shy but warms up once she knows you. She is great with other dogs, cats, and children. Once she comes out of her shell, she loves to run and play fetch outside with her family! Nox walks well on a leash and is a gentle, sweet girl, that has slowly been gaining confidence thanks to going on gentle socialization (positive experiences with meeting people at her own pace, going on outings at dog friendly events, etc...).

Like any of our dogs, this sweet, beautiful girl would make a great addition to an active home that will provide the love, structure, good leadership, activity and mental stimulation that this breed needs.  Because of that, Nox's ideal owner will have prior GSD or other herding breed experience, and a friendly dog buddy for her.  Even if you exercise and play with your dog daily in your fenced yard, please remember  that you MUST still take your dog out on daily walks and outings, in order to provide sufficient stimulation, ward off boredom, and work on leash skills, and manners.
