Nova is a 5½-year-old gentle soul who has spent most of her life being a loyal companion, a quiet presence, and a good girl trying her very best. She enjoys simple joys like leisurely walks, trips to the dog park, and long naps on the couch. Nova is well-mannered in the house, listens well, and settles comfortably on her own. She gets along with other pets and enjoys being part of a home's rhythm. While she may get a little excited when new people arrive, it's out of a desire to connect, not aggression. Nova is calm, affectionate, and attentive, though like many dogs, she can be momentarily distracted by squirrels or birds. She doesn't love being crated for long periods but does well on her own when given space and trust. She thrives when she feels safe, respected, and understood.
Ideal Home
Ideally, a home without young children, where her signals are understood and honored. A home where she can finally exhale and feel safe, respected, and understood.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are mentioned.
Training & Support
Nova has had past incidents involving children where she reacted and bit, believed to be due to being stepped on or handled roughly. There was also an incident with an adult who had been teasing her, leading to Nova reacting when her owner intervened due to fear, overstimulation, and stress. These incidents were not a pattern of aggression but rather confusion and self-protection. She needs an environment built on respect, patience, and clear boundaries.
