My story

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

Looking for a heated blanket this holiday season? LOOK NO FURTHER!

Meet Novella! 🧸

She is ✨️ givinngggg ✨️ 110+ pounds of wrinkly, squishy mastiff queen energy!
This is a girl who believes softness is a personality trait and snacks are a love language.

This sweet girl comes fully equipped with:
✨ More wrinkles than you can count (trust us, we tried).
✨ Cuddle abilities comparable to a squishy beanbag, especially if your preferred massage style is “deep tissue by gentle mastiff pressure.”
✨ A professional talent for eating treats in one enormous, unapologetic slurp.
✨ A passion for all things warm, soft, cozy, and food-flavored.

She currently lives with foster dog and cat siblings, and here's how it's going:
✅️ Thriving with the dogs! 🐕
✅️ Completely unfazed by the cat! 🐈 
✅️ She hasn’t met kids yet, but with her sweet personality, she’ll likely do ok with any kind & respectful being!👩‍👦

She’s a little shy at first, but offer her a snack and she warms up faster than a microwave burrito. 🌯 To make her extra cozy, it is important everyone gets a slow, polite introduction. (Did we mention snacks? Snacks always help.) 🧀

Her story? It’s a tough one. She was found as a stray and brought to a shelter. When her owners showed up, she thought she was going home… but instead, they surrendered her. She spent 180+ days waiting for someone—anyone—to choose her. No one did! (We are just as shocked as you!) ❤️‍🩹

Now she’s out, safe, and finally being seen for who she really is: A gentle, goofy, buttery-soft soul who just wants a human to follow around, a couch to melt into, and a cheese stick or two along the way. 🧈

She is spayed and vaccinated and ready for the good life she’s been waiting for. 💉 ✂️

If you’re looking for a giant-hearted girl who’ll love you with every wrinkle she’s got, she’s ready when you are. 💛🐾
