My story

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

Meet Nova Lucy

Breed: Pit Bull
Sex: Female
DOB: 1/18/2022
Weight: 45 pounds
Health: Very healthy overall; diagnosed with Megaesophagus

Nova Lucy is a stunning, soulful girl with a heart as big as her beautiful smile. She carries herself with quiet strength and gentle confidence, and once she bonds with you, her loyalty runs deep. Nova Lucy is affectionate, loving, and deeply people-oriented — the kind of dog who leans into your touch and looks at you like you are her whole world.

She has one special medical condition, but it does not define her. It simply makes her unique.


Personality

Nova Lucy is calm, affectionate, and emotionally intuitive. She loves being near her people, enjoys relaxed companionship, and thrives in a stable, loving environment. She has a gentle temperament and a steady presence that makes her a comforting companion. She’s happy to join you for walks, lounge nearby during quiet evenings, and soak up affection whenever it’s offered.

She is truly a loving, grateful soul.


Breed Info: Pit Bull

Pit Bulls are known for:

  • Deep loyalty and strong bonds with their families

  • Affectionate, people-loving personalities

  • Emotional sensitivity and devotion

  • Thriving when included as true family members

Nova Lucy embodies everything beautiful about the breed — loving, steady, and loyal.


About Megaesophagus

Nova Lucy has Megaesophagus, which means she needs to eat sitting upright (such as in a Bailey chair or supported sitting position) to help her swallow safely.

The good news:

  • She is otherwise very healthy

  • She does wonderfully with her feeding routine

  • With structure and consistency, she thrives

Her feeding process simply requires a little extra time and care — and in return, she gives immeasurable love.


Owner Responsibilities

Nova Lucy’s ideal adopter will:

  • Be consistent with her upright feeding routine

  • Provide a calm, structured environment

  • Offer patience, love, and stability

  • Commit to routine veterinary care and monitoring

This isn’t complicated — it just requires someone who understands commitment.


⚠️ Things to Consider Before Adopting

Before welcoming Nova Lucy home, please consider:

  • Are you comfortable managing a feeding routine that requires supervision?

  • Is your housing situation stable and breed-friendly?

  • Are you financially prepared for regular vet checkups?

  • Can you commit to her for life — especially given her special needs?

Nova Lucy deserves a home that will never give up on her.


Vet Care

Even though Nova Lucy is doing well, adopters should establish care with their own veterinarian as soon as possible after adoption to ensure continued monitoring and support.


The 3-3-3 Rule

  • First 3 days: She may be quiet and observant as she adjusts.

  • First 3 weeks: She’ll begin to understand your routine and feel secure.

  • First 3 months: Trust deepens, and her full loving personality shines.

Consistency and reassurance are everything.


Why Nova Lucy Is Truly Special

Nova Lucy is not “a dog with a condition.” She is a loving, beautiful soul who simply needs her meals served with a little extra care. She will give her whole heart to the person who chooses her. Her gratitude is visible. Her love is steady. Her spirit is strong.

The right adopter won’t see her condition as a burden — they’ll see her as the gift she is.

If you’re ready to open your heart to a devoted, special girl who will love you fiercely and faithfully, Nova Lucy is waiting for you
