Nova is an American Bully puppy in Chesapeake, VA, who needs $2,000 for Hydrocephalus.

Nova came to us by birth from her mother, my emotional support dog, Harley. I got Harley after my father passed away from cancer and she became my emotional support animal and she has been by my side for the past two and a half years. We love Harley so much that we are realists and knew that one day she would pass away but we wanted a piece of her to carry on because we love her so much.

Nova is 8 weeks old and she is the silliest, sweetest, goofiest little puppy I've ever seen. She is very, very smart. She loves to wake up and snuggle but as soon as she has completely woken up she wants to be set down so she can run rampant through the house. We have a small pen for her for when we sleep but as soon as we're awake she's out and about in the rest of the house with us.

I lost my job due to Covid back in March. I was diagnosed with Covid and bilateral pneumonia so I have been unable to work due to permanent lung scarring and damage that's why I lost my previous job. I just want to help her be able to live a happy healthy life.

Nova is only 8 weeks old and she was diagnosed with hydrocephalus. Hydrocephalus is water on the brain. The doctor we are trying to get into to see is Dr. Young with Bush Neurology in Richmond, Virginia. It costs a lot of money just to get in to get a consult so it's been rather hard for us to get just a consult due to the fact we can barely afford the consult.

Nova is very feisty and sassy. She is a bit of a drama queen in the sense that when she plays she gets a little extra. She loves to get really excited when she plays so she gets sassy when you take a toy from her and she likes to become very vocal. She will hop and Skip and gallop through the kitchen and the living room when she gets really excited and we get her really wound up to play.
