About Nova

Nova is a lovely 2-year-old German Shepherd mix who may start off a bit shy when you first meet her. With some time, patience, and reassurance, you’ll unveil the sweet personality hiding behind her timid exterior. Nova adores the company of other dogs. Having furry pals around can help her feel more secure as she adjusts to her new home. She’s looking for a special family that understands the importance of giving her the time she needs to build trust. Remember the 3-3-3 rule: 3 days for decompressing, 3 weeks to settle into a routine, and about 3 months to truly feel secure and confident. Of course, every dog is unique, so her timeline might vary. Once Nova feels comfortable with her people, her gentle and affectionate nature will shine through. She needs someone to believe in her and support her as she grows into her new environment. Could you be the patient person she needs to help her discover the joy of a forever home? Reach out to Rover Ranger Rescue for more information or to start the adoption process.
