**Nova is available for foster-to-adopt local to the South Okanagan area**

Nova is a bright, friendly girl who arrived at the SPCA as a stray, so her past is unknown – but her loving nature is unmistakable. She’s eager to meet new people, soak up affection, and be part of someone’s daily routine. True to her breed, Nova is an active, intelligent dog who’s always looking for something to do. She’ll thrive with guardians who can offer plenty of enrichment, exercise, and structure to keep her mind and body busy.

Nova appears to be friendly with other dogs, and she may enjoy having a canine companion. However, we’re not sure how she feels about cats, so careful introductions – or a cat‑free home – would be best.

Because she came in as a stray, Nova may be prone to escape behaviours, which is very typical for her breed. A secure environment and a calm, consistent routine will help her feel safe and settled. We also suspect that Nova may not enjoy confinement such as a crate; she’ll be happiest spending time with her people or enjoying a secure, fenced yard rather than being closed in.

Nova is ready for a fresh start with someone who appreciates her energy, intelligence, and affectionate spirit. With the right support and an active lifestyle, she’ll make a joyful and loyal companion.
