**COURTESY LISTING** Nova is a seven-month-old Catahoula and Australian Shepherd mix with a beautifully dappled, soft merle coat, heartwarming gaze, and most of all, a gentle heart. She is incredibly loving, the kind of dog who will happily curl up next to you, give you kisses, and soak in every bit of attention. Nova thrives on connection and truly enjoys being wherever you are. She forms strong bonds and will be a deeply devoted companion for someone looking for that close, loyal relationship. She still has her playful puppy side too and loves to play, whether that’s frolicking around or gently mouthing during playtime. Nova has a beautiful balance of personality. She is curious, adventurous, and interested in exploring the world around her, whether that is a walk, a car ride, or tagging along on everyday outings. She does well with other dogs and really enjoys canine companionship, often looking to them for both play and comfort. Because of her gentle nature, she would do best with a kind, confident dog friend. While she can be a little nervous at first, Nova warms up quickly and continues to grow more confident with positive experiences. She is still a puppy and very open to learning, and will continue building confidence as she experiences new environments. She is smart, athletic, and eager, with the potential to thrive in activities like agility, training, or other dog sports. She also has a softer side that makes her just as happy to relax and stay close to her person. Nova does best in a home that can offer companionship, structure, and reassurance. She can feel anxious when separated from her people, so a home where she is not left alone for long periods, or one with another dog, will help her continue to feel secure and confident. If you are looking for a loving, loyal, and affectionate companion who will be right by your side through it all, Nova might be your girl.
