About Nova

Meet Nova. She's a 6-year-old Great Dane and Black Labrador Retriever mix who knows what it means to be part of a family. Nova was surrendered when her previous home became a bit too chaotic for her liking, especially with other animals around. While she might have shown some protective tendencies at home, we haven't seen that behavior here at the shelter. Instead, she's shown her true colors as a sweet and playful dog who thrives on calm, attentive interactions. Nova takes time to warm up to new people, so she’ll do best in a home with older children and adults who can give her the respectful space she needs. She enjoys car rides, eagerly listens when given commands like sit, stay, and shake, and walks nicely on her harness. With a bit of patience and love, this big-hearted 90-pound girl is ready to bond with her new family and become an affectionate companion. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
