Nova is a 5½-year-old dog who has been a loyal companion, a quiet presence, and a good girl trying her very best. She enjoys 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 stems from a desire to connect rather than aggression. Nova is gentle, calm, affectionate, and attentive. She can momentarily lose focus when distracted by squirrels or birds but quickly returns to being a steady, loving companion. Nova doesn't enjoy being crated for extended periods but thrives with space and trust.

Training & Support
Nova has had a few incidents in her past involving children and an adult where she reacted out of fear or pain, rather than aggression. These incidents are believed to have occurred when she may have been stepped on, handled roughly, or when she was overstimulated and stressed. These moments do not define her, but they highlight her need for a patient environment with clear boundaries. She needs a home where her signals are understood and honored, and where she can learn to trust.
