About Nova

Meet Nova! Nova is a resilient mixed breed girl looking for a loving home. At around 2 years old and weighing 51.8 lbs, she’s had quite the journey. After surviving a house fire that led to her back leg being amputated, Nova has proven that she doesn’t let challenges stop her. We affectionately call her our little tripod; she gets around marvelously on three legs and embraces life with enthusiasm. Nova adores the outdoors and is always ready for an adventure. While she might pull a bit on the leash in her excitement, further leash training is sure to keep her focused on exploring the world. She's friendly with both people and other dogs, making her a great companion. This sweet girl is spayed, up-to-date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, and microchipped. Now, she’s seeking a home where she can feel safe, loved, and cherished. Could you be the one to help Nova start her next chapter? Cat testing can be done upon request. What are you waiting for?
