Meet Nugget

NUGGET NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Come meet Nugget and other great adoptable dogs this Sunday (8/16) from 12-3 pm at the PetSmart in Falls Church (6100A Arlington Blvd, Falls Church, VA 22044)! Name: Nugget Best Guess for Breed: Chihuahua mix Best Guess for Age: 7 years as of July 2026 SEX: Female Approximate Weight: 12.5 lbs. Gets Along With: other dogs. We haven't seen them with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters! Currently Living at: DC area foster home Nugget is Looking For: A mature Chihuahua mix, Nugget dreams of having a calm and loving home. She has a sweet, affectionate nature and enjoys spending her time relaxing in cozy spots, going for walks, and hanging out with her people. Nugget is past the high‑energy stage and has settled into an easygoing routine that makes her an excellent companion for adopters seeking a quieter, low‑maintenance dog. If you look closely at Nugget's shelter photos you will see a bulge in the corner of her left eye. This is known as cherry eye and the good news is that it's has already been treated. Nugget may be tiny is size but like most Chihuahuas, she has a big personality that will keep you entertained. Adopt this little ray of sunshine and she'll quickly fill your home and your heart. What My Foster Says About Me: Nugget thinks crates are for unruly puppies. She's a mature lady and wants to decide for herself whether to relax in her dog bed or sit next to you on the couch. If you enjoy quiet time at home with a small dog by your side Nugget wants to meet you! Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training.
