Meet Nova

~~THIS DOG IS **NOT** IN THE CARE OF THE ALTERNATIVE HUMANE SOCIETY. THIS IS A COURTESY POST. PLEASE REACH OUT TO THE OWNER AT kaylaseverin@yahoo.com FOR MORE INFORMATION. THANK YOU~~Nova is a 1 year and 8 months old American Bully Mix who is 50lbs and of medium height. She is up to date on shots but not yet spayed. Nova is very loving, smart and socialized to people, kids and dogs. Even though she’s been around younger children, we feel she would do better with being the center of attention in the home. Nova can be very territorial in her yard and in the house when she sees other people and dogs through the fence or a window, but not every time. She has not been in close contact with cats and will bark at them. Nova can be stubborn but is very food driven so we believe that with the right training and consistency, that she has a lot of potential. Nova is house/potty trained since she was a puppy. But she is still kenneled when we are away from the home as she likes to chew the kids' toys and food off counters in reach. She is very active and loves walks. She is leash trained but does excessively pull still. She can be an escape artist if she gets the opportunity, and when she does she thinks it’s a game of catch me if you can. She will come back for treats normally but does like a good chance to explore. Nova has had 2 skin flare ups in the past and is currently eating a trout and rice blend kibble from Nutri-Source for food. If there are any questions or something you specifically want to know about Nova please let me know.
