​Nova - Adoption Pending!

Picture
Hi! My name is Nova.  I am three years old and in need of a new family.  My family loves me very much, but due to my separation anxiety, I am seeking a home where someone is mostly home.  My human brother and sister are getting older and don’t spend time at home. Both of my parents work full time. My mom has a chronic illness, and my family cannot offer me the exercise and training I need.  
I am a pack animal and feel safe with family around me.  I am very good with children and love my Alaskan Malamute brother, Nomad.  I am a protector of kids, family, and my home.  I can be territorial when strangers or animals go on to my property.  I am potty trained and will let you know when I have to go. 

I have a lot of energy and enjoy playing tug of war.  I love belly rubs and any type of bread.  Favorite pastimes include cuddle time with my owner, resting on a cozy bed or couch with pillows.   I love all types of dog toys, especially knuckle bones.  I am healthy and a good eater.  I can get into trouble when left alone due to my anxiety.  If you have to leave me alone, I am safest in the crate.  I get scared of thunderstorms and will cuddle with you. I am a smart cookie.  I can do tricks like (paw, sit down, two paws, kisses). With the right training, I could be the perfect companion.   I would make a great sled dog.  I pull very hard and need the proper training for walking.

I would be the best fit for a family that can be home with me.  I love cuddles and looking after children.  I would be best suited with another male dog.  I would love a fenced in yard, so I can roam free and get exercise.  The only times I have tried to escape is to get to my owners if they are outside and I am inside.  My separation anxiety is too high for me to run away from you. I am a good girl in the car.  I enjoy car rides. 

    
My owners  want to see 
me happy. My human sister has special needs.  I was a great therapy dog for her.   If you can be patient with me and train me, I will make a loving addition to your family.
If you can give me the love I need, please contact Jennifer at (jenleazer@yahoo.com).  I am fully vetted, and my re-homing fee is $100.00.  I come with a heavy duty crate, knuckle bone, and familiar toys to help me settle in.
