Novella

ABOUT THIS ANIMAL:
Hi! My name is Novella, and I’m a total sugar pie. I love people and I love treats! I’ll often lean into you for comfort, and playing is my absolute favorite. I enjoy spending time with my friends and learning new things, and I’m always excited for a game or a cuddle. I’ve been very brave, and my friends here at FOHA are helping me feel safe and confident. With a little patience and guidance, I know I can continue to grow and become the best companion ever!

I’m so excited to meet my potential new family! To make sure we have the best first impression, I’d feel most comfortable meeting new people with one of my friends (a FOHA staff or volunteer) by my side. The best way to set up a successful meet-and-greet is by submitting an application first. Thanks for considering me!

I’m also eligible for FOHA’s Foster Forward Program, which helps long-stay animals like me experience home life and increases my chances of adoption.

HOW AM I WITH DOGS:
I am good with dogs.

HOW AM I WITH CATS:
Unknown – just ask my friends at FOHA to do a cat test and we can see how I do.

HOW AM I WITH KIDS:
I have met older children and has done well. Since I can be touch sensitive, I would do best in a home with older children (13 and older).

I KNOW THE FOLLOWING COMMANDS:
Sit. I am learning “stay,” and “wait.”

MY HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING:
I am house-trained and crate-trained.

THINGS I LIKE:
Bones, chew toys, balls and toys of all kinds. She loves stuffies, playing with them and snuggling with them. LOVES soft blankets.

THINGS I DISLIKE:
Harnesses. I’m a little sensitive to touch and like to come to you for affection in my own time. New things or experiences can feel overwhelming if they happen too quickly, so I need someone patient and gentle who understands my reservations. With time, guidance, and support from someone who cares, I can learn and feel comfortable. My friends at FOHA have been helping me, and I’ll need that kind of encouragement as I continue to grow.
