Nova is ready to find a family to call her own and shower her with all the love she deserves. This sweet, gentle girl has left her bouncy puppy days behind and is now looking for a home where she can enjoy life's simple pleasures: leisurely strolls, plenty of affection, and a cosy spot to curl up beside her favourite people. Nova is a very people-focused companion who absolutely adores spending time with her humans. Whether it's joining you for a gentle walk around the neighbourhood, sniffing her way through the park, or settling in for a cuddle on the couch, Nova is happiest when she's by your side. Her lead manners could use a little polishing, but with consistency and patience she'll continue to improve. Currently carrying a few extra kilograms, Nova is looking for a family committed to helping her on her fitness journey. With sensible portion control, daily gentle exercise, and lots of encouragement, she'll be feeling healthier and sporting a trim figure before long. Nova would make a wonderful addition to a family home. Having lived with other dogs in the past, she may enjoy sharing her new home with a canine companion, though she's equally happy being the centre of attention and soaking up all the love for herself. If you're searching for a loyal, affectionate best friend with a heart full of love to give, Nova could be the perfect match. All she's missing is a family to cherish her and a place to call home.
If Nova isn't quite the right fit, these dogs are close matches.
