Female, 14 months old, Sable, Blue eyes
"Nova" -- Hiya! I’m Nova, my owners adore me…and I’m looking for a new home. 🐕
From Morgan & Daria: We absolutely love her but…she loves chasing our cat with scary degree of drive, and after much difficult deliberation we’ve realized we just aren’t the right home for her.
Have a look, get to know her, and share with friends. And please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions.
If you’ve met Nova, you know she’s sweet, energetic and beautiful. That’s why we really want to find somewhere she can be the dog she’s meant to be.
With Love and Sadness,
Morgan & Daria
The Story
We started considering adopting a dog in October, and went to visit the shelter. Daria wanted a pointy-eared dog that looked good with Tsuki in photos. Morgan wanted a medium-sized dog that could spend long days in the mountains. LA shelters have a lot of huskies, and she was the smallest one we could find. She’d been in the shelter for 2 months already, picked up as a stray. She was sort of awkward, and very demure, and we fell in love with her immediately.
We’d made a plan for how we’d introduce her to our cat slowly, keeping them separated and slowly letting them smell each other and gradually see each other. That plan fell apart when the cat was braver than we thought, coming into the dog’s space, but then the cat would run, and Nova was excited to chase.
We had a close call early on with the pets getting out of hand, and we put up a gate to Daria’s office to give her space. In early January we had a really close call, with the cat on our bed and Nova coming into the bedroom and getting the cat between her jaws.
Then in late February the cat got bold again and wandered downstairs, the dog followed and got the cat in her jaws again. If Daria hadn’t seen it happening and moved to intervene, we aren’t sure what would have happened. That was the final straw, and so now we’re making this post.

For Nova’s New Home
If she warms your heart and you would like to take her, we’re happy to meet up and explore this with you. Our only ask that you give her a nice home and love her as much as we do. We’ll also pass along with her bed, crate, box of toys, gate, and all the other dog stuff we’ve accumulated.
This is a sad moment for us, and it’s been a lot of emotions to get to this point. We’re hoping to find her a better match. Thank you for your consideration and for sharing this around.
With Gratitude,
Daria & Morgan
