About Nova

Meet Nova, a sweet and playful Chihuahua mix who's just over 2 months old and weighs 5.7 lbs. With her oversized floppy ears and expressive dark eyes, she is bound to steal your heart. Nova thrives on social interaction; she's a total sweetheart who adores cuddles, soft kisses, and playtimes with humans and other dogs alike. This little social butterfly is blossoming and needs a loving home where she can continue her training, including housebreaking and crate routines. Her ideal family will ensure she has daily playtime, puppy naps, and all the affection she deserves. Since Nova is still technically a baby, she would do best with a gentle, playful resident dog to help show her the ropes or in a home where she can have plenty of puppy playdates. Keep in mind, due to her tender size, Nova should be walked on a soft back-clip harness. While she’s still intact, she will be adopted with a spay contract and a refundable deposit requirement. Are you ready to welcome this pocket-sized bundle of joy into your home? Click apply to start the adoption process.
