Get to know me... I'm Nova! A small female Belgian Malinois mix, 1 year old, 35 lbs, with honey-gold eyes, and I was waiting on death row at a Port Lavaca "kill" shelter in Texas. Bless my lucky stars when 4 Little Paws Rescue saved another group of dogs from this location, and I was included. I am now living in a foster home in San Antonio, having some fun, making new friends, and getting ready for adoption. I am vaccinated, spayed, microchipped, have vet records, and I'm ready to leave Texas behind! My foster mom says I am a lovely girl with a sweet personality. Friendly, happy, and wagging when I meet strangers, children, dogs, and cats, with no shyness right from the start. I'm fun and playful, but not like a typical goofy puppy. I'm more the calm/focused, smart-as-a-whip type of girl who is eager to learn some stuff. On the flip side, I am energetic, enjoy playtime and running, and have fun splashing around in the water on a hot day. I am also sweet and affectionate without being slobbery. I adore people, and I'm social. Not a barker, but will bark to alert you when I see an armadillo or deer in the yard. I am okay on a leash, pulling a little but not too hard, and when it's time to go somewhere in the car, I am enthusiastic and will jump right in, ready to hit the road for any fun adventure!
