Story
Nova is a sweet, gentle guy with a big heart and an even bigger capacity for love. He can be a little sensitive in new situations, so he does best with patient people who let him take things at his own pace. Once he feels safe, Nova's affectionate nature really shines through. He's looking for a calm, understanding home where he can build confidence and be someone's very special companion. Nova enjoyed living with other dogs, and will only be rehomed to a family without children or with kids at least 10 years of age.
