She walks nicely on leash, making her an easy and enjoyable companion whether you’re heading around the block or out for a longer stroll. She was saved from Georgia and is now safe in NJ, patiently waiting for the loving home she truly deserves.

Nova is microchipped, spayed, and up to date on vaccines. All she’s missing is her forever family.
