About Nova

Meet Nova, a vibrant and playful 9-12 month old female. Weighing in at 16 lbs, she’s ready to fill your life with energy and enthusiasm. Nova embodies the spirit of a puppy, always eager to learn and explore. Whether you're interested in agility or simply need a running companion, she's your girl. Just remember, she needs training on the leash for those outdoor adventures. Nova loves to play and gets along well with other dogs, but she's best suited to a home with older kids. Her impressive jumping ability (up to 5 feet!) means she can accidentally knock over smaller children. Ideally, her new home will have at least a 6 ft. fence to allow her to burn off energy safely. She’s crate trained, happily munching on treats while in her crate. Just a heads up, Nova prefers to dine solo or with food kept separately as she tends to resource guard. If you think you can match her energy and spirit, get in touch! Your new best friend is just one click away.
