My story

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

Nova is a lovable, chunky 2-year-old pit bull with a heart as big as her smile. She may be carrying a few extra pounds, but don’t let that fool you—this girl is full of energy, fun, and personality!

Despite her current curves, Nova loves to stay active. Whether it's playing in the yard, going for walks, or chasing toys, she’s always ready to move. With a bit of consistency and continued activity, she’ll be back to her healthiest self in no time.

When Nova was surrendered to us, her trainer reached out to share how special she truly is—smart as a whip, eager to learn, and overflowing with love. She knows her basics, picks up new things quickly, and wants nothing more than to please her people (well… maybe a snack first, then please her people).

Nova is the perfect mix of cuddly and playful, and she’s ready for a forever family who will keep her mentally and physically engaged while soaking up all the love she has to give.

Looking for a smart, affectionate, and slightly squishy best friend? Nova’s your girl!
