Nova

Meet Nova!

Nova is a spirited nine-and-a-half-year-old Labrador Retriever with the radiant affection of a puppy. Weighing in at a sturdy 75 pounds, she's a friend to everyone she meets, showering them with enthusiastic kisses and happy tail wags! Nova thrives on joyful connection, whether she's playing with her favorite toys, showing off her "sit" and "shake," or simply curling up after a good walk. She loves structure, enjoying two walks a day, consistent mealtimes, and a cozy bedtime routine. While she adores couch snuggles and belly rubs, she can have a mischievous streak with unattended snacks or tempting mulch piles, so supervision and a crate with a peanut butter Kong are helpful when she's home alone.

Ideal Home

Nova would do wonderfully in a home with older children and active caregivers who can keep her engaged, exercised, and loved. She needs to be the only furry friend in the home, as she prefers the solo spotlight and has had past challenges with other dogs, including two incidents over the years. She does not show aggression toward people, only adoration.

Ongoing Health

Nova has a sensitive stomach and sometimes experiences stress when left alone.

Training & Support

Nova is fully house-trained and crate-trained. She benefits from structure, two good walks a day, consistent mealtimes, and a cozy nighttime routine. Supervision and a sturdy crate with a peanut butter Kong are recommended when she is left alone.
