Nova - 4 Month Old Border Collie X (Trial)

Meet nova, also known as novi, nova bean and nova Bomb, she is a 4 month old border collie x catahoula x kelpie,

As you would expect from her nicknames, Nova is a little firecracker! Your typical high energy puppy with so much love to give!

All Nova wants is a human and doggo sibling to love her as she grows!

Novas training is coming along great! She is a very smart quick learning little girl, in her short time with her foster mum she has learnt toilet training, learnt to sit, walk on a lead and Is learning other basic commands such as shake, lay and stay which she picks up very quickly! She is also crate trained.

When Nova isn’t having cuddles with her foster mum, she loves playing with her foster sister a chihuahua x, wrestling, playing chasies and playing tug of war!

When her sis has had enough she is great playing with her toys on her own, taking herself outside to see what sticks and grass she can chew on. Nova always has access to inside and outside and loves being inside when humans are home. Nova will need a medium to large size yard and will need to be walked daily. She gets along great with both tiny and large dogs! She has never met a human or other pup she hasn’t liked!

Nova first started as a shy quiet pup but once she was comfortable she completely came out of her shell. Nova can be jumpy but Is good with kids, so will need her forever family to continue ongoing training to help her develop to the brilliant girl she is and is going to be!

Nova is in foster care in Kurri Kurri, NSW. Since they are not yet desexed, they are only available for adoption to the Lower Hunter region (Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Port Stephens, Maitland and Cessnock) plus Central Coast and Sydney. They’ll need to be returned to one of our approved vets for desexing when they are 5 to 6 months old.
