Meet Nova, a true survivor with the softest heart. This docile, independent girl spent months on her own after escaping her original home, surviving in a nearby neighborhood. A kind neighbor began feeding her, and though she kept her distance at first, trust slowly grew until she was finally brought to safety. Even then, she showed her sweet nature—playfully bowing from afar and following along on walks, just unsure of how to belong again. She’s incredibly smart and resilient—car-savvy and resourceful enough to dig dens to stay warm during cold snaps. Her microchip revealed she once had a home, but sadly, her owners couldn’t take her back. Now, Nova is ready for a fresh start. She’s crate trained, great with other dogs, and loves belly rubs. She enjoys both indoor and outdoor time and is learning leash skills. Like many heelers, she forms a deep bond with her person and will be your loyal shadow. And yes… she still has a love for snacks—street life taught her well. She’s done surviving—now she’s ready to be loved. Apply to meet Nova today.
