Nova
Nova is a cute, tiny 4 yr old Frenchie looking for her forever home. She requires a very specific home and family in order for her to thrive. A calm, low activity home with no other pets (dogs/cats), or children is required. Though Nova is a sweet and affectionate dog, certain noises (loud, high pitched, unexpected and sudden) as well as environmental stressors involving high levels of activity around her, e.g. lots of comings and goings of people in the household; and sudden movement can trigger reactivity.
She is currently taking CBD oil, which has made a moderate improvement in her anxiety.
Nova sleeps in her crate at night, and is known to bark in the am when she thinks she’s had enough of her crate. Currently Nova is doing well and enjoying life to the fullest, especially when she is just with her foster dad, going for rides in the truck, or chilling at their cottage.
A retired person/couple who are home often would be ideal. Dog experience, as well as familiarity with Frenchies quirks and temperament would be a strong benefit. A family that can accept and embrace her unique personality is essential. Awareness of her stressors along with a management strategy to minimize anxiety is important.
Nova likes the car and will sleep nicely in her car seat with no issues as all. She is fully potty trained. She understands basic commands like sit for meals and a very strong no when she is doing something she shouldn’t.
Nova likes to go for short walks. Given her structure she should not be doing a lot of jumping, running, or numerous stairs.
In the right home, Nova will make someone very happy! She’s a real cuddler.
