🚨 Meet Nova -- for the right person, she's incredible 🚨

Nova is brilliant. I haven't found a toy or puzzle she can't figure out. She learns fast, bonds deeply, and has a big personality in a smaller package.

She's not a beginner dog -- but for someone who enjoys working with a smart, driven dog, she is so rewarding.

This is your dog if:
/️ You enjoy training and mental stimulation
/️ You want a dog that bonds closely to their person
/️ You're active (mentally and physically)
/️ You appreciate a dog with personality, not just "easy"

Nova will need:
* Structure and consistency
* Continued work around resource guarding (food, toys, her person)
* A home without cats (she's terrified of them)
* Likely no young kids right now -- she's energetic and still learning boundaries

She is:
* Kennel trained
* Housebroken
* Extremely intelligent
* Beautiful and full of life

She's currently in a busy multi-dog home and honestly... she's re

She's currently in a busy multi-dog home and honestly... she's ready for her own space and her own person. She does best when she has focus and direction.

I love this dog. If I had the lifestyle for her, I would keep her. She deserves someone who can match her.
