Story
Nova is a dreamy fluff ball. She is so soft and fluffy! She has a cute little personality, she’s vocal, sometimes when playing with her foster siblings and jumps around with her little tail wagging. At the same time, she’s also pretty mature for her age. I think she and her siblings had to grow up quickly since they were found out on a dirt road, and her foster mom has noticed she can be calm and mature and just sit there getting pets from you.
Nova lives in a foster home with kids of all ages and other dogs of all ages. She fit right into the mix very quickly. She’s pretty adaptable.
Her breed is a total guess but her coat is pretty fluffy so that’s why we are guessing possibly part border collie. It’ll be fun for her future family to do a DNA test!
She’s pretty petite compared to her siblings, she was actually the smallest of the bunch.
She is currently estimated around 13 weeks old and only weighs 12 lbs.
Nova‘s foster mom describes her as very cuddly. She’s the perfect lap dog. She is a normal, curious puppy who wants to play and explore.
Her foster family will continue potty training until she travels to her new home!
Here’s a fun fact- Nova is also kind of famous! She and her siblings landed a story on the Dodo! How cool is that?! They deserve it. They deserve to be celebrated as survivors.
Nova is a very special girl, I don’t think she’ll grow to be large. I think she’ll stay medium, and we think she will blend right in with any type of Home. Thank you for considering her!
