Meet Nugget
Meet Nugget. Nugget is an adorable Shih Tzu with the sweetest personality. She was lovingly surrendered when her owner could no longer provide the care she deserved, and now she's searching for a family to call her own. This gentle little girl is friendly, affectionate, and happiest when she's surrounded by people who love her. She's taking all of life's recent changes in stride and is ready to start her next chapter with a family that will cherish her forever. Nugget doesn't need much, just a warm lap, a loving home, and someone who will promise she'll never have to wonder where she belongs again. Could that someone be you? Adopt Nugget and give this precious girl the happy ending she deserves. All dogs will be altered, microchipped, and receive age-appropriate vaccines prior to adoption. Please note that the listed location for this dog may not be accurate due to technical limitations of this database and we have transportation options available within 6 hours of NYC (so don't let location hold you back)!Interested in fostering or adopting?
