Adopt Nova

Staffordshire Bull Terrier · Female · Young · 3 years

Nova is a 3-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier x Boxer mix who is house-trained and loves car rides and snuggling. She's a nervous girl needing a patient family to build her confidence. Nova doesn't enjoy other dogs' company and must be the only dog in the home, requiring a lead and muzzle for public walks. She needs direct access to a private, secure garden and quieter walking areas. Nova loves people, squeaky toys, and puddles, and would suit someone home most days who can gradually increase alone time. She has allergies requiring veterinary discussion and needs multiple meet-and-greets before adoption.

Nova is fully house-trained, and enjoys travelling in the car, keeping you company and snuggling up together. She has the best tippy-tap toes that just can't stop when she sees her favourite people! Nova has so much character and charisma, she is going to make such a wonderful best friend for a family. She recently spent some time in foster where she had a beaming home report, and her foster carer described her as the easiest dog she'd ever had in the house! Nova is as cute as a button and would love to find someone who is at home for most of the day. She'll require several meets at the centre to build up a relationship with her new family prior to going home. This little angel does have some allergies, but our veterinary team can discuss this in more detail prior to her adoption. gradually. Animal Welfare licence number is AWE02, as licenced by Glasgow City Council. Nova is a gorgeous smushy girl who is going to make a very rewarding dog for a loving and understanding family. She is a 3 year old Staffie x Boxer who loves people, squeaky toys, and playing in puddles! She has been quite a nervous girl whilst in our care so she is looking for a patient family who can help gradually build her confidence up in the big old world! Nova doesn't enjoy the company of other dogs, so would like to be the only dog in the home and should be kept on a lead and muzzle whilst walking in public. She is looking to have direct access into her own private and fully secure garden, to have a safe space of her own to zoom around in. Ideally Nova should have access to quieter areas to go for her walks in her new home, so that she doesn't get overwhelmed. She'd initially be happy with a fun and interesting garden for a while as she's such a happy girl in the home, to then be introduced to walks whilst she has settled in.
