Nova in Maryland
Nova is not yet ready for adoption. We are still evaluating her personality and addressing her medical needs. An email notification will be sent when she becomes ready for adoption. If you wish to receive the notification, please sign up for our mailing list at the top of the front page of our website. Adoption fees are set at the time a dog goes available, and applications can only be submitted at that time. Please follow our website and social media pages for updates on Nova!
Meet Nova, our Champagne Supernova — a 3‑year‑old, 29.5‑lb sweetheart whose entire mission in life is simply being close to her people. She’s a certified Velcro girl, happiest when she can follow you from room to room, curl up beside you while you work, or tuck in next to you at bedtime. If she can be near her humans, she’s content.
Inside the home, Nova is wonderfully calm and incredibly well‑mannered. Even through her nervous belly and the stress of adjusting to a brand‑new life, she hasn’t had a single accident. She sleeps peacefully through the night, either in her own bed or yours, and during the day she’s perfectly happy gnawing on a bone while you answer emails. She’s also a mega cuddler, a sunbathing queen, and a proud thief of unattended stuffed animals.
Outside, Nova is getting braver every day. She enjoys exploring the yard at her own pace and occasionally breaks into joyful Frenchie zoomies. She walks nicely on leash, though she’d much rather run free and do her own backyard adventures. Fireworks didn’t bother her, but the vacuum earns a respectful amount of space.
Nova arrived with some separation anxiety and a nervous tummy — understandable for a girl whose entire world just changed — but with medication, probiotics, and a bland diet, she’s already improving. Her vet visit confirmed she’s in excellent physical health, and her personality is blossoming more each day. She loves big people, little people, and especially loves snuggling up with her foster family’s son during bedtime tuck‑ins. Her wiggle butt is legendary.
Her one challenge is other dogs. Although she previously lived with a dog brother, she made it clear she did not care for the resident Frenchie in her first foster home. Because of this, Nova has been moved to a new foster home in Maryland, where there is another dog — but introductions are happening slowly and intentionally. Nova is being given time to decompress, settle in, and become familiar with the other dog at her own pace. Safety, structure, and patience are the priority.
Nova is a special girl — gentle, loving, people‑oriented, and deeply devoted once she feels safe. Everyone who meets her falls in love.
She is still settling into her newest foster home, where we’re hoping she will continue to shine while we learn more about her needs.
We greatly appreciate any and all donations! Your donations will help us provide Nova with some basic essentials, such as a leash and food, as well as help us cover some of her vet bills.
