My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Name: Nova
Breed: Boxer mix
Age: Adult
Gender: Male

Nova is a handsome Boxer mix boy with a lot to offer a new home...housetrained, crates well but doesn't need it, loyal, smart, and incredibly well trained. He knows many commands, tricks, and minds his manners in the house beautifully. Nova adores his people with all his heart and loves to be doing whatever his family is doing...playing in the yard, hanging out on the couch, snuggling...he's up for it! Nova is being reluctantly surrendered because he is nervous of the baby in the home as she grows into the toddler stage. Nova needs an adult home who can continue to work with him on some leash reactivity he has towards other dogs. He has met dogs with no issue (but greatly prefers people to other canines so would much rather hang around his house than go to a dog park) but on the leash or in his home he gets overprotective and insecure and puts on a good show of acting tough and making a ton of racket to get the offending canine to go away. He needs an owner who is willing to work on this with him and to show him boundaries and rules firmly and lovingly. He is smart, eager to please, has an amazing foundation of training, and is very food motivated so working with him is easy and fun. A fenced yard would be a big bonus but is not required.

Requirements: Older kids (10 and up)
