Nova is a mixed-breed puppy with a personality that's equal parts sweet, sassy, and adventurous. She approaches life with confidence and curiosity, proving every day that being deaf doesn't stop her from enjoying the world around her. Nova was born completely deaf, but she shows everyone how capable and intelligent she is. She's learning hand signals for commands like "outside," "sit," and "lie down," and her eagerness to learn makes her a star student. Deaf dogs experience the world differently, but Nova proves every day that they are just as smart, loving, and adaptable as any other dog. This happy girl is thriving in her foster home, where she lives with both dogs and children and loves them all. She's playful, affectionate, and always ready to join whatever fun is happening. Nova especially enjoys the company of other dogs, though because she cannot hear warning growls or other canine cues, she'll need patient dog friends who can tolerate typical puppy antics while she continues learning social skills. Nova is looking for her people – the ones who will see her abilities instead of her limitations, celebrate her victories, and help her continue learning that the world is a safe and exciting place. In return, she'll bring endless love, plenty of personality, and a reminder that some of the most special dogs simply experience life a little differently.
Ideal Home
Nova's ideal home will have a securely fenced yard where she can safely explore, play, and burn off her puppy energy. Because she cannot hear dangers, warnings, or someone calling her back, close supervision and secure boundaries are especially important. Experience with deaf dogs would be wonderful, but a dedicated family willing to learn and help her navigate the world safely could be a great fit as well.
Ongoing Health
Nova was born completely deaf. She has received age-appropriate vaccines, which may include DHPP, Rabies, Lepto, and Bordetella. She will be adopted as altered if of age, or a voucher will be provided for alteration if she is not yet of age.
Training & Support
Nova is learning hand signals for basic commands and is motivated by treats and her eagerness to learn. She enjoys the company of other dogs but will need patient friends as she continues to learn canine social skills, as she cannot hear warning growls or other cues.
