About Nova
Meet Nova! This lively nine-and-a-half-year-old Labrador Retriever from Charlotte, NC, is the epitome of love wrapped in her glossy black coat. At a solid 75 pounds, she greets both familiar faces and newcomers alike with sweet enthusiasm, ready to share her affection through tail wags and enthusiastic kisses. Nova thrives on joyful interactions. Whether she’s leaping after a squeaky llama toy, showing off her sit and shake skills, or curling up on the couch after a walk, she fills every moment with joy. To keep her happy, she flourishes with a structured routine—two daily walks, regular mealtimes, and a cozy nighttime setup are essential for her peace of mind. While she enjoys snuggles and cuddles, she also has a mischievous side, particularly when it comes to unattended snacks. She’s best supervised when you’re away, ideally relaxing in a crate with a peanut butter Kong. This affectionate lady prefers to be the only pet in the home, having had past challenges in social settings with other dogs. While she isn’t aggressive towards people—indeed, she adores them—she flourishes in a pet-free environment where she can enjoy undivided attention. Nova is in search of a loving family who understands her need for respect, patience, and affection. A household with older children and active caregivers would be perfect for her. Though she has a sensitive stomach and can experience some stress when alone, with the right care, she blossoms into a loyal and loving companion. Fully house-trained, crate-trained, spayed, microchipped, and up to date on her vaccinations, Nova is ready to become your devoted shadow, brightening your days with her loving gaze. If you’re ready to welcome her into your heart and home, Nova is waiting for you! Your new best friend is just one click away.
