About Nova
Meet Nova! Nova is a stunning Belgian Malinois with a sharp mind and a vibrant personality. She learns quickly and thrives on structure and consistency. Keeping her brilliant brain busy is essential. One of her favorite things in life? Other dogs! Nova enjoys their company and gets along wonderfully with her canine friends. However, she has some specific needs when it comes to her human companions. Nova can be particular and cautious around men, so she seeks either a female-only home or an adopter experienced with Malinois and behavior-focused training. The ideal person for her will be patient, understanding her boundaries, and committed to helping boost her confidence with positive reinforcement. Nova also carries a little piece of her past with her, having suffered from fly bites that left changes to the tips of her ears. But she is ready to move forward and find a loving home that appreciates her unique charm. She looks for: - A female-only home or experienced handler - A commitment to ongoing training and routine - Someone who respects her boundaries while trust develops - A family that understands the energy and needs of a Malinois - Canine companionship would be a lovely bonus, as she enjoys other dogs!
