Birthdate: 10/06/2025 Breed: One of a kind Weight: 24 lbs Meet Nova!! Nova is a scruffy, spark-filled little ray of sunshine with a dazzling, ever-present smile. She's playful, spirited, and delightfully goofy—always ready to leap into her next mini adventure, whether that's chasing a toy or trotting happily by your side. With her perfectly tousled coat and irresistibly quirky charm, Nova brings a burst of joy wherever she goes. And when the excitement winds down, she's incredibly affectionate—snuggly, loyal, and happiest curled up close to her people. If you're looking for a vibrant, joy-loving companion who will light up your world, Nova is your girl. "I'm one of the newest arrivals at Paws Crossed, and I'm settling in while the team gets to know me better. Check back soon for my full bio or, better yet, come meet me in person—I might just be your new best friend!" The Rescue is open 7 days a week for you to come and meet our pets! Walk-ins are welcome! In order to interact with them, you'll need a simple questionnaire filled out. You can fill this out at the Rescue or before you come in at: https://www.pawscrossedny.org/dog-adoption-questionnaire . If you have any questions, please email us at adoptions@pawscrossedny.org for more information. Please understand that we cannot hold pets for any reason. All adoptions are done on a first come, first adopt basis for pre-approved applicants. The Shelter software system requires that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of our dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We encourage you to select your new companion by considering each dog's individual personality and pet qualities instead of relying on a breed label that is only a guess.
