Meet Nova!
Nova is a spirited nine-and-a-half-year-old Labrador Retriever with 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. Nova is all about joyful connection. Whether she’s bounding after a squeaky 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. Nova is fully house-trained and crate-trained.
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 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. She has had past challenges getting along with other dogs and has a bite history involving two incidents with other canines over the years. Nova is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on her vaccinations.
Training & Support
Nova thrives on structure—two good walks a day, consistent mealtimes, and a cozy nighttime routine help her feel at peace. Supervision and a sturdy crate (with a peanut butter Kong, please!) are her recipe for success when left alone.
