Meet Nova II - Silver Heart
12/4/2025 Nova II is an owner surrender looking for a new home. Hi! My name is Nova II! I am a handsome 10 year old white boxer boy that is an owner surrender due to my owner's health issues and other dogs in the home not getting along with me. I am described as friendly, shy, playful, affectionate, and nervous! I do have some arthritis and a mass on my kidney, but don't let that shy you away! I am a proud member of the rescue's Silver Heart program so be sure and ask about it because there are many perks for my adoptive family! I currently live with an English bulldog but it is no longer getting along with me. I have never lived with a cat so it is uncertain if I am feline friendly. There are no children in my home but I have had extended exposure to my owner's 5 year old nephew and do great with him! I am house trained but will need assistance learning crate training manners in my forever home if it is required. At night I sleep on a dog bed on the floor and when the humans are away and I am left alone, I have separation anxiety because I want to be with them. When outside I do not attempt to jump fences/gates but I am curious what is under the grass and will dig to find out. Some of my favorite things are my bed, playing, being outside, affection, and treats! If you think I would make a great addition to your family, contact the rescue today and tell them you are wanting to meet sweet Silver Heart Nova II because I am waiting to meet you!
