About Nova (English Mastiff) in Omaha, NE 68116

Nova is waiting for you at Bullies-N-Beyond ResQ Inc in Omaha, NE 68116. Nova is a mixed-breed puppy born February 4, 2024, with a personality that’s equal parts sweet, sassy, and adventurous. She approaches life with confidence, curiosity, and a determination that proves every day that being deaf doesn’t stop her from enjoying the world around her. Nova was born completely deaf, a diagnosis that was confirmed by her veterinarian. While she can’t hear, she shows everyone every day just how capable and intelligent she is. She’s learning hand signals for commands like outside, sit, and lie down, and her treat motivation and eagerness to learn make her a star student. Deaf dogs experience the world differently, but Nova proves every day that they are just as smart, loving, and adaptable as any other dog. This happy girl is thriving in her foster home, where she lives with both dogs and children and loves them all. She’s playful, affectionate, and always ready to join whatever fun is happening. Nova especially enjoys the company of other dogs, though because she cannot hear warning growls or other canine cues, she’ll need patient dog friends who can tolerate typical puppy antics while she continues learning social skills. Nova’s ideal home will have a securely fenced yard where she can safely explore, play, and burn off her puppy energy. Because she cannot hear dangers, warnings, or someone calling her back, close supervision and secure boundaries are especially important. Experience with deaf dogs would be wonderful, but a dedicated family willing to learn and help her navigate the world safely could be a great fit as well. Nova is looking for her people — the ones who will see her abilities instead of her limitations, celebrate her victories, and help her continue learning that the world is a safe and exciting place. In return, she’ll bring endless love, plenty of personality, and a reminder that some of the most special dogs simply experience life a little different
