My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Nugget

She was exactly that when she first came into the rescue. Just an itty bitty little nugget of fur. She came in as a 3-4week old puppy at maybe 5 pounds. She had a hearty appetite for puppy formula and for wet food. And then the weight start to come on and she started to grow into the beauty that she is today.

Once she was allowed to play with the "BIG" puppies, she never looked back. She plays very well with all sizes and ages of dogs and puppies. And now as one of the "BIG" pups, she LOVES playing with the little puppies! One of her besties is an 8pound little terrier named Henry!

As soon as Nugget was ready for adoption, we found that she had a cyst in her haunch. And it quickly grew. The cyst was lanced and it was removed. And antibiotics were given orally and injected into the cyst. Then as soon as that cyst was taken care of, the other haunch developed a cyst. Well, this time her vet decided to give her more time for it heal with just antibiotics. And sure enough, all is now well. Both cysts are gone and she is NOW ready for adoption!!!

Nugget is kennel trained. She quickly runs into a kennel at bed time which is 10pm. She sleeps quietly all night long until 8am. At 8am, she is super happy to come out and run towards the backyard door, exit, and run to her spot in the grass. During the day, she enjoys cuddle times on the couch with her people. She enjoys wrestling and playing with the dogs. And if you are looking for a WATER DOG then Nugget is your girl!!! She LOVES the water. She loves walking in the rain and also jumping in and out of the kiddie pools.

Nugget is also potty trained. She does not have any accidents in her kennel during the night nor during her naps throughout the day. She walks straight from the kennel to the backyard door to go potty outside. And if she needs to go when she is in her kennel, she will alert you that she has to go! SUCH A SMART GIRL!!!!

Nugget is ready to be a beautiful, loving, and loyal companion in her family. She is happy to be near you but not smother you. She is not needy but definitely enjoys being near her family. Nugget is smart and secure in being by herself because she trusts that at some point she will be cuddled and petted.

Nugget has been spayed. She has her rabies, bordatella, and all four parvo shots. She has been on heartworm preventative since the age of 6 weeks. She is also on fleas and ticks preventative. She has been tested, treated (if needed), and retested for giardia and coccidia. She has been dewormed multiple times for a healthy gut and immune system. She is also chipped.

Nugget is at the perfect age to join her family. She is ready to be a lifelong and most loyal member in her family.
