More: Nova was rescued in California and brought to Oregon by Oregon Dog Rescue. It was love at first sight! She was hiding in the back of her kennel and hadn’t come up for anyone until she saw me. She’s super sweet, sassy and smart. We’ve taught her a lot of vocabulary and tricks, but the most impressive is her own currency system she uses for treats! She hides socks and small items around the house to use as currency to trade for treats later! she hates baths but loves sprinklers and the river. She loves to eat the waves, run up and down the coast, trying to chase birds and boats.
