Nova

Nova is a pocket-sized powerhouse at just 12kg - a clever, active girl with all the heart and drive of a working dog in a compact body.

She is incredibly smart and thrives when she has something to focus on. Nova loves to learn, enjoys structured activity, and absolutely lights up when she gets to do zoomies in the yard. She would suit someone who genuinely appreciates working breeds - their intelligence, their sensitivity, and their need for purpose.

Nova is a sensitive soul who forms strong bonds with her people. Once she trusts you, she is deeply loyal and connected. She does best with calm, predictable handling and adopters who understand that trust is built through patience and consistency. Routine helps her feel safe and settled.

Nova can be worried by certain types of handling and is not comfortable around other dogs, so she is looking for an adults-only home where she can be the only pet. A secure backyard is essential so she has space to move and decompress.

She is currently on behaviour medication, which has helped her feel more balanced and able to engage in learning.

For the right person - someone steady, experienced, and compassionate - Nova will be an incredibly rewarding companion.
