Introducing the enchanting Novella! 🌟 This beautiful 3-year-old girl is a treasure waiting to be discovered. Imagine stepping into her world, where every fluffy tail wag is an invitation to warmth and love, even if it takes some time to earn her trust. She came to us as an owner surrender because life got a bit too busy for her previous human. Now, she’s looking for a family that can nourish her soul and boost her confidence! 🏡 When you meet Novella, you might notice she's somewhat shy—like the introverted artist in a dance class. At first, she may retreat to the corners of her space, wide-eyed with curiosity and a little apprehension. Yet, as you toss her favorite treats, like delectable pupperoni 🍖, you’ll witness magic unfold! With patience, she begins to inch closer—her heart bravely leading the way. She’s not just a timid pup; she’s a gentle spirit who needs some encouragement and a kind touch. Now let’s talk about her fabulous connections with other dogs! 🐶 We’ve seen the beautiful transformation that happens when she’s in the presence of another confident canine. With friends like Gimlet, her demeanor brightens, and her tail begins to untuck. Her walks become confident struts rather than hesitant trots! It’s clear that a buddy by her side works wonders, and she’s ready for that special teammate to help build her confidence. Imagine sharing your life with a being who has a character worthy of a novel! 📖 She's a great companion for kids, enjoying the chaotic joy they bring to life, and even lives harmoniously with other pets, from cats to reptiles! 🐢 When it comes to cuddles, she’s your girl, briskly flipping from chill mode to bursts of joyful energy. She’s a beautiful ballet of gentle affection and playful spirit! Just a heads-up though, Novella does have some quirks—like a bit of separation anxiety. She may cry when left alone, and she'll need a little time to adjust to new faces in the crowd, but isn’t that what makes her all the more special? A family that’s cozy, caring, and patient will be her ultimate haven! 💕 The lovely Novella is more than ready to be the light in someone’s life—will that person be you?
