Nova Nova is a joyful, energetic Lab mix pup who brings enthusiasm into everything he does! He's curious, playful, and happiest when he's engaged — whether that's chasing a ball, exploring the outdoors, or working for treats during training time. Nova was recently returned through no fault of his own. His previous home included an elderly family member, and his playful puppy energy created safety concerns. While this was a difficult decision, it gave us valuable insight into what Nova needs to thrive. Nova is: Potty trained (goes outside) Kennel trained (goes in on command and enjoys his space) Smart and already knows sit, wait, and stay Treat motivated and eager to learn Playful — loves fetch and toys Affectionate — enjoys cuddling after playtime Up to date on vaccinations He is currently teething, which means he benefits from appropriate chew outlets and supervision (like any growing puppy!). Nova would do best in: ‍ An active home ‍‍ A family prepared for puppy energy A home without fragile mobility situations Nova shines bright — he just needs a home ready to grow alongside him.
