My story

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

Nova is an approximately 3 year old lab and border collie mix, weighing  approximately 60 lbs. 



 



While my past is not known, I was rescued by some nice people after trying to live outside on my own! It appears I may have lived outside for most of my life, so I’m really enjoying this indoor house life. True to my roots though, being outside and running around is one of my favorite things to do! I make sure my foster takes me on walks several times a day! We sure do get our steps in! Although not required, I'd ideally love a home with a fenced in yard so I can run around and get all of my energy out! I'm very playful and high energy, so lots of exercise is a must . 



Although I may be a little scared at times, I love making new dog friends and playing with them! I'd do well alone or with another dog friend at home that I can learn from. 



I love kids too, but would best be suited in a family with older children due to my playful nature and sometimes not realizing my own size! I would love a mom in the house too, as sometimes men can scare me a bit at first! I warm up to them though and am realizing I can trust them! 



I do well in my crate and put myself to sleep each night without being asked! I’m now house trained and do well on a regular schedule! 



I’m learning some simple commands, but would benefit from some ongoing training while I still work on some manners. I just need some patience and love! As far as toys go, I do best with something I can chew on instead of plush toys - as they don’t last me long! My foster has to remind me that not everything is a toy for me, so I’ll need someone who is able to keep working with me on some manners. 



Someone who has patience and time to help me learn would be ideal! 



I truly am the sweetest dog! Everyone who meets me falls in love with me! I’m loyal, playful, and so sweet !  I would love to find my forever home!!
