Nova – 10-Month-Old American Staffordshire Terrier Nova is a sunshine-in-fur form – a bouncy, 10-month-old American Staffordshire Terrier who was rescued by Animal Control along with her siblings from a backyard breeder. After surviving the tough early days no puppy should ever have to endure, this little family finally made it to the safety of the shelter. If you’ve ever met a puppy who loves so hard it looks like she might explode with happiness, that’s Nova. The second she sees you, her entire body turns into one giant wiggle. Her tail goes a mile a minute, her chunky puppy butt swings side to side, and she practically vibrates with pure joy. It’s the kind of greeting that makes even the grumpiest person crack a huge smile. She’s pure, uncontainable puppy energy wrapped in a soft brindle coat and the sweetest face you’ve ever seen. Nova is already spayed and fully vaccinated. She’s incredibly social and has never met a dog or cat she doesn’t instantly want to be friends with. She loves people of all ages – kids, adults, seniors – and thinks every single one of them is there just to give her belly rubs and playtime. She’s still very much a puppy, so she’ll need someone ready to keep up with her zoomies, continue her training, and give her the structure and love she’s been missing. This girl survived the hard start. Now she just wants to spend the rest of her life proving to her people how much she loves them. If you’re looking for a loyal, goofy, affectionate companion who will greet you like you’re the best thing that’s ever happened every single day, Nova is waiting for you. Ready to bring home the happiest wiggle in the world? Nova is available for adoption and ready for her forever family.
