About Nova

Nova arrived at the rescue with several other dogs after her previous owner could no longer care for them due to health issues. It's sad to think about the challenging conditions they faced, but Nova is ready for a fresh start. This sweet girl is doing well with house training and has been spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. Though she can be quite shy at first, she gradually warms up and enjoys the company of other small dogs. Because of her small size, she needs a home without small children. Nova's beautiful bicolor coat is medium in length, and she has a gentle demeanor that you'll quickly appreciate. Ready to find a compassionate forever home?
