About Nova

Nova is a playful and affectionate 2-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier with a soft, short coat in white and gray-blue. She’s happiest romping through a tug-of-war session, exploring new routes on long walks, or curling up next to you when the day winds down. If you sit down, she’ll likely show up, nudging her face into your lap for a gentle pet—and she easily wins people over with this quiet, needy side. Nova is crate-trained and housebroken, so you can count on a smooth transition at home. She gets along well with dogs and is great with children, but she’s not a good match for homes with cats. Nova does best with an adopter who can match her energy for play and her craving for affection. Give Nova a shot at a loving Miami home—she truly has a lot of love to give.
