Meet Nova, a wonderfully sweet and affectionate girl who thrives on human connection! She's a true cuddler who loves to be near her people and isn't shy about giving enthusiastic kisses. Nova is friendly, gentle, and playful, always ready for an adventure rather than a lazy day on the couch. She has a delightful personality and is quickly adapting to the comforts of indoor living, showing great progress with her potty training.
As a Rat Terrier, Nova embodies the breed's intelligence, energy, and playful spirit. She absolutely adores plush squeaky toys, enjoying a good game of fetch or tug-of-war. While she's dog-friendly, Nova does best with slow introductions, blossoming into a playful and engaging companion once she feels comfortable. She is currently learning to be alone and is doing well with crate training, especially when she can see her human, highlighting her desire for companionship.
Nova is seeking a loving home where she won't have to spend extensive time alone. She thrives with a family or another dog, and she's proven to be excellent with children between 6-12 years old in her foster home. A family that cherishes constant companionship and is ready for a loyal, active, and affectionate companion will find Nova to be an incredible addition. Please note, Nova is not suitable for a home with cats.
