Floof Nugget is a one of a kind 5-8-year-old, 14-pound male mix from NYACC overflowing with love and a gorgeous underbite (Teefers alert!!)
He has adjusted very well during his time with his foster family in the city. Floof Nugget enjoys going outside for walks and cuddling (on top of) his person on the couch, and playing with his super hyper 1yo foster puppy sister. Don't let his scruffy look fool you, he's actually silky soft!
He knows “sit” and is learning leash manners (he is only guilty of pulling and he's learning heel). He does fine meeting other dogs on walks but is sometimes reactive to human males and some runners. Floof will need slow introductions to men as he is particularly cautious around them. He is a good listener and treat motivated so he enjoys and flourishes with training. His new family will do well with reinforcing the current progress he is making in foster.
At first he had a few accidents but he has gotten the hang of holding it for walks outside. His new family will need to help him adjust to a new home and get him on a schedule for walkies.
Floof is an incredibly low key, loving and sweet pup but does need his forever family to continue working on his separation anxiety. It will be important to reinforce independence and eliminate his fear of being left alone.
Floof loves to be cozy with his foster family and can often be found playing with a crinkly toy or enjoying a chew treat. Floof is looking for a quiet low key family. He appreciates downtime and can be happily active once trust is fully established. Early on he was very mistrusting of abrupt movements.
He will happily be a solo dog but definitely enjoys the company of other dogs at home too.
We would recommend Floof go to a home with older or no children. He is very cautious of fast movements and touching - small humans would stress him out.
Vaccinated for rabies, DA2PP, and bordetella. Heartworm negative, neutered, and microchipped. Current on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention.
