Meet Nova, a fabulous almost 5-year-old black lab/staffy mix whose journey from the sunny beaches of Puerto Rico to her new home has been nothing short of inspiring! 🌟 This lovely lady is back with us, not because she isn't wonderful—oh, quite the contrary! She was adored in her previous home, but her owner had to move and couldn’t take her along. Now, she's ready to turn that page and find her forever family. Could that be you? Nova is not just a pretty face; she boasts a heart full of joy and an adventurous spirit that’s bubbling over! 🏃‍♀️ This sweet girl is food-motivated, affectionate, and brimming with energy. If you're looking for a jogging buddy, you've hit the jackpot! She can run up to an impressive 4 miles per day! And with the help of a trainer, she's working on mastering her leash skills, recall, and commands —especially if treats are involved! 🍖 Playtime is her jam, particularly with medium-sized dogs who can match her zestful energy. Just imagine the fun of having a fenced-in yard where she can dash and chase her favorite backyard “lizards” to her heart's content! 🌈 It’s important to note that Nova should not live with cats due to her enthusiastic prey drive. Ideally, she would thrive in an adult-only home, where she can enjoy tranquility and all the one-on-one love she craves. At 63 lbs., Nova has been patiently waiting for her second chance, bringing loyalty and love to the table. She's spayed, up to date on vaccinations and preventatives, and microchipped —all ready for her forever family! 💖 And guess what? There's even a foster-to-adopt option, allowing you to get to know her before making the wonderful decision of adoption. Let’s help Nova embark on this next chapter of her life! Surround her with the love and activity she deserves. Apply to adopt this bright star through the Buddy App today! 🥳💖
