Meet Nova: A gentle soul learning that the world can be safe. 💔✨ This beautiful 5-month-old Great Pyrenees/German Shepherd mix is the sister to Eclipse, and she is officially looking for a very special forever home. Like her brother, Nova came to us with severe burns across her face and body—but hers were much worse, and the emotional scars have run a lot deeper. 🥺 Nova has had a much harder time learning to trust, but she is making incredible strides every single day. While she hasn't fully found her confidence yet, her true, sweet nature shines through the moments she feels safe: • Gentle with everyone: She absolutely loves kids and is incredibly sweet to all the other animals at the sanctuary. 🐾👶 • Loves to play: She enjoys playing with the other dogs, though if the play gets a little too rough or loud, she will usually quietly retreat to a corner. • The ultimate snuggler: Nova sometimes whimpers in her sleep from her past trauma, but if you lift this big girl onto your lap and hug her, she will melt into you, snuggle up tight, and peacefully sleep in your arms. 😭❤️ Nova still cowers to the floor when approached until she realizes you aren't going to hurt her. She needs a patient, loving family who will let her go at her own pace and show her what unconditional love looks like. If you have a quiet home, a gentle heart, and room on your lap for a growing girl who just wants to feel safe, Nova is waiting for you. 🏡👇
