										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Discrimination isn&#8217;t unique to humans.</p>
<p>It exists in the animal kingdom, too, especially where certain breeds are concerned.</p>
<p>Nova is a beautiful, cheerful, and talented pup that was destined for one thing: to serve the public.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s right, this 2-year-old go-getter is trained to be a brave K9 dog; she sprinted through her training and was about to be paired with a law enforcement officer.</p>
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-15410" src="http://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/NovaPitBullPic.jpg" alt="" width="650" height="434" srcset="https://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/NovaPitBullPic.jpg 640w, https://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/NovaPitBullPic-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px" /></p>
<p>But incredibly, just before this happened, the Universal K9 (UK9) training facility in San Antonio was raided by the FBI!</p>
<p>It was due to suspicion of fraud and unfortunately, all 25 animals at the facility &#8211; including Nova &#8211; were taking to San Antonio Animal Services.</p>
<p>There, Nova began to decline.</p>
<p>She doesn&#8217;t do well in kennels (well, what dog does?) and she was in danger of losing her training.</p>
<p>But at the last moment, it looked like Nova would still land her dream job as a K9 dog for the U.S. Air Force!</p>
<p>And because she&#8217;d already completed her training, everyone figured she&#8217;d be a guaranteed selection.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-15411" src="http://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/NovaPitBullPic2.jpg" alt="" width="650" height="434" srcset="https://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/NovaPitBullPic2.jpg 640w, https://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/NovaPitBullPic2-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px" /></p>
<p>However, there&#8217;s one big problem:</p>
<p>The Air Force doesn&#8217;t accept pit bulls!</p>
<p>Austin Pets Alive volunteer David Loignan just can&#8217;t believe it. He says it&#8217;s extremely unfair:</p>
<p dir="ltr">“<strong><em>Nova is a sweet girl, with a huge heart, who loves everyone she meets. </em></strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="ltr"><strong><em>What a waste of drive, talent and skill, all due to her blocky head and stocky body.</em></strong>&#8220;</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="ltr">David added that the thought of Nova &#8220;lingering in the shelter and erasing all the effort that&#8217;s gone into giving her the life she was meant for, and deserves, is heartbreaking.&#8221;</p>
<p dir="ltr"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-15412" src="http://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/NovaPitBullPic3.jpg" alt="" width="651" height="434" srcset="https://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/NovaPitBullPic3.jpg 640w, https://addictingstories.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/NovaPitBullPic3-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 651px) 100vw, 651px" /></p>
<p dir="ltr">It really is, isn&#8217;t it?</p>
<p dir="ltr">Just because of her breed, Nova won&#8217;t be able to serve humans the best way she knows how, the way she was trained to do.</p>
<p dir="ltr">But it&#8217;s hardly the only example of breed discrimination in the world of dogs, as many dog lovers well know.</p>
<p dir="ltr">If Nova can just find a loving family to adopt her, though, maybe she can put all this behind her&#8230;</p>
