Meet Nova! Nova’s story started in a heartbreaking way. At just 4 years old, this little 8-lb Chihuahua mix ended up in the ER after getting into her owner’s drug stash. When she was checked in… her owners never came back. She was left behind. After that, Nova landed at the shelter where small “plain wrapped” Chihuahua mixes are often overlooked. Her future was uncertain… until a foster stepped up and brought her into Paw Squad 559. And from day one, Nova has shown us what a special girl she is. She bonds quickly to her person and just wants someone who will love her, protect her, and never leave her behind again. • 4 years old • 8 lbs • Good with other small dogs • Does excellent on a potty schedule • Would easily learn to use a doggy door • Loves sunbathing and cozy naps • Would do best with older, well-mannered children or none in the home. (she can get snappy if scared) Nova isn’t asking for much. Just a safe home… a warm lap… and someone who will promise to stay. Could that be you?
