About Nova

Meet Nova! This lovely girl is around 2 years old and weighs about 47 lbs. She was sadly neglected by her previous owner, who gifted her but didn’t provide the care she needed. Now in a caring foster home in Texas, Nova is ready to find her forever family. Nova is potty trained, leash trained, and crate trained. She's a loyal and smart companion who enjoys car rides. While she is generally quiet and polite, she can be a bit shy in new situations before opening up. With other dogs, she reveals a playful side, showcasing her silly and goofy personality. Although she's full of charm, Nova is a bit curious about cats and has shown a prey drive. It's good to keep this in mind if there are kitties in the home. Nova is fully vetted, spayed, and up to date on her vaccinations. While she has been tested low heartworm positive, she is currently undergoing treatment and will need to continue care once in her new home. If you're looking for a loyal and affectionate addition to your family, Nova might just be the one. Out-of-state adopters are welcome, and transportation can be arranged. Don't miss the chance to welcome this wonderful girl into your life! Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
