Meet Nova, a spirited almost three-year-old Lab/Pitbull mix from Oneonta, NY, whose zest for life is as bright as her beautiful tan coat. Weighing in at 70 pounds of pure enthusiasm, Nova is the ultimate adventure buddy wrapped in a playful, tail-wagging package!
Nova’s energy is her superpower! She loves anything she can chew on, from durable toys to treat-filled puzzles that challenge her clever mind. While she’s mastered commands like sit, lay down, wait, come, heel, and no, she’s still learning the art of patience—though she’s always willing to strike a deal if snacks are involved. If you’ve got treats, she’s got focus!
Crate trained and house-trained, Nova does well when left alone for short periods, happily settling into her cozy space. She’s spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on her vaccinations, ready to leap into her next adventure with a new family! Nova gets along fabulously with other dogs and even enjoys the company of cats, though her boundless energy can be a bit much for older or calmer pets. She’s the life of the party, always ready to play, romp, and make new furry friends.
While she’s a social butterfly, Nova does have one quirk—men with dark-colored beards make her a little uneasy. With patience, reassurance, and positive experiences, she can build confidence in those situations. A home with plenty of space to run, explore, and burn off her energy would be a dream come true, especially if she has another young, playful dog to be her partner in fun!
After a day of adventures, Nova transforms into a snuggly, relaxed companion, content to curl up and soak in the love. She’s an amazing dog with a big heart, looking for her next family who can match her energy and give her the playful, active life she needs.
Could Nova be the joyful, four-legged addition to your family? Reach out today to meet her and see if your heart (and backyard) are ready for her boundless love and excitement!
