Meet Nova 🌟 — an almost 2-year-old mixed breed, about 50 lbs, bursting with a gentle heart and a quiet sparkle that grows brighter every day. Now, let’s take a moment to celebrate her journey! Nova’s story didn’t start out easy. Picture this: abandoned and tied up outside in the sweltering heat of summer. 😢 But hold onto your hearts, because thanks to a kind rescuer, she found her way to safety and into a loving foster home. And now? She’s thriving and ready to script the next chapter of her life in a forever home of her very own! In the warmth of her foster care, Nova is blossoming beautifully. She adores going for walks with her foster mom, and guess what? She’s making impressive strides with her leash manners every single day! This smart cookie isn’t just about looking cute; she’s food- and toy-motivated, which makes training not just easy, but also a blast! When it’s playtime, oh boy, get ready! Nova’s athletic side shines brighter than a superstar — she loves fetch and can leap like a gazelle going after her ball! 🎾✨ At home, Nova is truly the model of grace. She's got excellent house manners—she’s fully house trained and knows how to be the perfect companion. One of her all-time favorite pastimes? Curling up on her foster mom’s lap for cozy TV time, followed by snuggling into bed for some delightful cuddle sessions. 🛋️💤 Now, let’s be real: Nova can be a tad wary of strangers initially. She’s on the lookout for a patient and understanding adopter who will provide her with the necessary time and space to build trust and settle into her new life. Once she feels safe, she transforms into a loving, loyal companion that will steal your heart! ❤️ An adult-only home is where she’ll thrive best — a calm, predictable environment is what she desires. And here’s a fun nugget: Nova has lived successfully with a cat and is just fine when passing other dogs on her walks. However, she prefers to be the solo queen of her castle — soaking up all the love and being the center of attention is her ultimate dream! If you’re searching for a sweet, athletic, and affectionate girl who’s just waiting for a little patience to let her true self shine, Nova could be your perfect match! 🌈 So, if this loving girl speaks to your heart, make sure to apply to adopt her through the Buddy App! You won’t regret it!
