Nova

This 4-month-old Lab mix is in the prime of her puppyhood and ready to find her new match.

Bundles of Energy: Nova is very playful and has that classic, happy-go-lucky Lab pup energy. She is always down for a game of fetch or a romp in the yard.

Kid-Approved: She has done wonderfully living with children! Her fun-loving personality makes her a great match for an active family.

Puppy in Training: At just 5 months old, she is a still a baby. She will need a family dedicated to all the normal puppy training basics (potty training, crate training, and manners) to help her grow into the best dog she can be.

A Little Shy at First: Nova wasn't well-socialized in her very early weeks, so she can be nervous in new situations and around unfamiliar people or dogs.

Blossoms with Patience: Don't let her initial shyness fool you-once she warms up and realizes she is safe, her true, playful personality shines through and she loves to make new friends!
