About Nova

We are an all-volunteer/foster home-based rescue.

Fill out the form by clicking on the picture of the computer screen with our logo on it. Hi! I'm Nova. I am a sweet girl, but I am cautious about being picked up. I am a little skittish around new people. I need grooming on a schedule and feel so much better after grooming. I'm a frisky little girl and I love to play with other small dogs and run in a fenced yard. After I get to know you, I love to snuggle on your lap or beside you on the couch. I am just beginning this amazing journey to learn to live life as a house pet....can you be my person and continue my journey with me? I am responding well to schedule trips outside to potty, but I can have occasional accidents in the house if I don't get my outside time. I'm comfortable in a harness but I can be a little goofy on a leash. I love toys! I shake them, toss them in the air and chase after them. I'm still learning so much about people as I learn to be a house pet. I need a fenced yard. Sometimes I get frightened and run. With a new family I may not come back unless I've chosen my new favorite person. Believe me. I can run! I am 2 year old, I weigh 8 pounds, my adoption fee is $400 plus sales tax $18=$418 My adoption fee helps with my vetting needs such as HW test, rabies, DHPPL, Bordetella, spay, dental if needed and microchipping.
