About Nova
NOVA HAS HAD HER EYE OPERATION AND SHE’S NOW ABLE TO LOOK FOR HER NEW FAMILY….
Nova is a Mastiff cross breed.
Previously, she was used for breeding, then dumped. Prior to being rescued from an imminent PTS, Nova was ‘in the pound’ for a year.
Nova suffered from distichiasis and underwent ‘entropian’ eye surgery, once she entered our care (with your kind support). Nova has recovered well from this.
Nova walks fine on the lead but is a strong dog, so will need a strong owner. Nova will bark at other dogs and hasn’t been very sociable with the other dogs in the kennels. She also likes to bark whilst being walked. Nova can still present as nervous, guarded and stressed at times. She’ll need multiple visits from a potential adopter to build up a relationship of trust and confidence.
She requires an ‘only dog’ home and has not been cat tested. An ‘adult only’ home is her ideal situation, although older children in the potential adopter’s household may be fine through further discussion and planned introductions.
After a difficult ‘early life’, Nova has shown resilience and courage. She’s a really sweet girl. With a future owner who will take advice on her handling going forward and show understanding of her past, she will make a truly wonderful companion.
