About Nova

Meet Nova, a resilient 4-6 year-old female Malinois mix looking for a loving home.

Having faced a tough start, being chained to a tree and used for breeding, Nova is ready for a family who will cherish her and show her what true companionship feels like. Nova gets along well with large male dogs, so a canine companion would be ideal. She does not get along with cats.
