Why I need a new home

Infant, young children or pregnancy

My story

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


Nova is a beautiful 6 year old 64-lb pit mix that has more love to give than she can handle. My husband and I rescued her when she was 2 years old after she was surrendered pregnant and forced to give birth to her puppies in an unfamiliar shelter. The poor thing went through a lot and because of this she does have some anxiety and occasional fear aggression.

We welcomed twin girls Nov. 2022 and although we were trying hard to make it work, it has been stressful on poor Nova and us to manage keeping them apart in our small home. Although we don’t think Nova would ever purposefully hurt them, she is very strong and does not know her own strength. She also is visibly overstimulated with two toddlers running around which is very understandable. We love her so much and although this breaks our hearts, she deserves a home that can give her more time and attention than we can right now. A relaxing one where she is the only pet, no kids or older ones preferably.
