CHICKEN NUGGET - Chihuahua and Pomeranian Dog for Adoption

Meet our little man, NUGGET! Full name - CHICKEN NUGGET, because you just want to gobble up this little nugget and smother him with kisses because he is SO CUTE!

Nugget is around 15 lbs (maybe a little less) and estimated to be about 2-3 years old as of July 2026. He is tall and lanky. Look at those legs! We think he's a Chi mix, perhaps with Pomeranian or rat terrier. It might sound a little weird but we love the shape of his little head! He has the cutest little dome! When people say apple headed chihuahua, this is what comes to mind!

He is great with other dogs! He's currently being fostered in a home with multiple dogs of varying ages in sizes and is great with them all.

Nugget is a VERY sweet and happy boy! He is lively! He is a great little walker and would be an excellent playmate or companion for another dog! His foster says he likes to play around with the other dogs in the house and backyard and REALLY loves his squeaky toys!

On an energy scale, he has medium to high energy when he is playing around or excited but he definitely likes his cuddle and chill time. He'd be a very good apartment/city dog as well because from what we observed, he isn't an excessive barker. He might bark when someone rings the doorbell but he is left along for several hours a day and is fine being left alone.

He loves pets and attention. His foster says he has a tender little personality which we think is so sweet!

We think he would be absolutely fine with children given his sweet personality!

He is neutered, heartworm negative and up to date on vaccinations.

NOTE: Nugget was previously listed with a few other rescues in PR but he is currently exclusively our dog.

**PLEASE NOTE: Nugget is currently in Puerto Rico and will fly to his forever home once he is adopted! Please note that we can easily ship in cabin with a flight volunteer to many airports along the East Coast including JFK, EWR, PHL, TPA, BWI, DCA, IAD and many more!***

Please feel free to email us with any questions about him! See below for application info.

We strive for our dogs to be adopted into the right home. The best fit for the dog is our priority.

Please make sure you are ready to properly exercise and give a dog all it needs for fulfillment. Your ongoing time and day-to-day commitment are the most important things in caring for a dog.

In addition, we cannot guarantee breed of any dog, exact age or expected adult size of a puppy. Please note that even house-trained dogs will need help transitioning to an adopter's home and schedule. Thank you for understanding.
