In Florida, a frail pit bull later named Nova wandered into the right home at the right time. Emaciated and weak, every rib was visible beneath her skin. When she approached Lisa’s family wagging her tail, they were struck by how sweet and calm she was despite her condition.

Lisa admitted she wasn’t sure what to do at first, but she began by feeding Nova and scheduling a vet visit. The veterinarian recommended high-protein puppy food to help her gain muscle and fat. Within weeks, Nova began to put on weight and grow stronger. Her tail wagged more, her energy returned, and she started showing a zest for life.
A Milestone of Hope

The breakthrough came when Nova was finally able to jump up with excitement — a joyful moment that reassured Lisa she would be okay. Soon, Nova was playing with everyone in the house and embracing her new role as a beloved family member.

Nova didn’t just find food and shelter that day — she found purpose and love. Lisa calls her “my little best friend, my companion,” adding, “I really believe God sent her to me.”
From starving on the streets to thriving in a safe, loving home, Nova’s journey is proof that sometimes the most desperate searches end in the most beautiful beginnings.
