Dog Named Nova Rescued from Car Engine in Phoenix, Now Up for Adoption

The 2-year-old Weimaraner mix chased a cat under a car and got stuck, but was safely rescued and is now available for adoption at the Arizona Humane Society.

  • A 2-year-old Weimaraner mix named Nova chased a cat under a 1967 Chevy Nova and got stuck in the engine in Phoenix, Arizona.
  • Rescuers from the Arizona Humane Society took 15 minutes to carefully free Nova, who was found to be healthy apart from minor wounds on her ears.
  • Nova, originally named Princess, was renamed after the car where she was found.
  • Nova is described as a sweet and docile dog who gets along well with other dogs at the shelter, but not with cats.
  • Nova is now up for adoption at the Arizona Humane Society South Mountain Campus for a fee of $49, as part of a limited-time offer for all dogs older than a year.
