Meet Nova!
Nova is a spirited nine-and-a-half-year-old Labrador Retriever from Charlotte, NC, whose essence is a radiant beam of affection wrapped in a glossy black coat and powered by the heart of a puppy. Weighing in at a sturdy 75 pounds, Nova is the kind of companion who lights up at the sight of a familiar face—or even a brand-new one! She’s never met a stranger, only future friends, and she’ll happily shower her people with enthusiastic kisses and tail wags that could rival a metronome! Nova is all about joyful connection. Whether she’s bounding after a squeaky llama toy, proudly showing off her “sit” and “shake,” or curling up after a long walk, she brings warmth and laughter to every moment. She thrives on structure—two good walks a day, consistent mealtimes, and a cozy nighttime routine help her feel at peace. Though she’s a big fan of couch snuggles and belly rubs, she’s also got a mischievous streak when it comes to unattended snacks or curious mulch piles. Supervision and a sturdy crate (with a peanut butter Kong, please!) are her recipe for success when left alone.
Ideal Home
Nova needs to be the one and only furry friend in the home, as she prefers the solo spotlight when it comes to animal companionship. She does not show aggression toward people—on the contrary, she absolutely adores them—but she thrives in a pet-free environment where she can feel relaxed and secure as the center of attention. She would do wonderfully in a home with older children and active caregivers who can keep her engaged, exercised, and loved.
Ongoing Health
Nova has a sensitive stomach and sometimes experiences stress when left alone.
Training & Support
Nova is fully house-trained and crate-trained. When left alone, supervision and a sturdy crate (with a peanut butter Kong, please!) are her recipe for success.
