Nova is a 53lb medium energy dog who has a huge heart. She is Kennel/crate and potty trained! She is still working on basic obedience but knows “sit” and is a quick learner and is highly treat motivated. She is very excited to go on walks. It takes her a minute to warm up, but once she gains your trust, she will be attached to your hip and will be your protector and best friend for life.

She will match your activity level when you want! She’ll love to play with you and also will love to just relax and cuddle. When Nova knows she’s safe and that you are her person - it is wet kisses, hugs and cuddles… She absolutely loves affection. Nova needs time introducing with new dogs but after some time, she wants to play with them all the time! She loves toys but will safeguard her toys from other dogs. She gets along best with male dogs of the same size or bigger. Nova loves meeting new people. She has never shown any signs of food or resource aggression with people. She sleeps well through the night and is not destructive at all. She is kenneled when we leave the house for her safety.

Nova needs a loving home with patience, structure and positive reinforcement. She has so much love to give and is just waiting for a home to open their hearts! Her temporary foster fell in love immediately and would have adopted her in a heartbeat had she not had 3 other large dogs and a cat already.
