Meet Nugget
Nugget is as adorable in personality as he is in his looks. He is very sweet and friendly, and enjoys being with people, cuddling, toys, and just hanging out. Nugget walks nicely on a leash, rides very well in a car, and gets along with other nice, small dogs. Nugget is a gorgeous Shih Tzu/Bichon mix. He is 7 years old and about 10-11pounds. He is an all around great little guy that will brighten a new home with his love and cuteness. If you believe you are a great match for Nugget, please put in an application today. Please watch the video, at the end of the photos, to see Nugget getting to know his new people and surroundings here at the rescue. More to come as his full personality emerges.
