About Nova

Nova is one of several Cane Corso mix puppies, robust and eager to find a place to call her own. Just eight weeks old and already showing classic Corso coloring—there's black, blue-gray, and brindle in this litter—Nova is sweet, clever, and growing fast. She was rescued as a newborn with her mother from a crowded shelter, so safety and care are all new to her. Nova isn’t shy about being the focus of the room but she bonds closely with her people and naturally looks to them for reassurance. Cane Corsos make deeply loyal family dogs and, despite their size, thrive with humans who involve them in their daily lives. Socialized from this age, Nova will grow into a calm, protective companion—one who’s not aggressive but always ready to stand up for her humans. Right now, Nova is already working on potty training and depends on company. She’s been started on vaccines and deworming, and will go home with supplies and medical records. Nova gets along with other dogs and children and is seeking an adopter familiar with large breeds, capable of helping her reach her potential. Click apply to start the adoption process.
