Boo! I’m Nugget, a tiny 7.2-pound bundle of love with a BIG personality! At 2 years old, I’m a fun-loving, very active little guy who’s ready to bring laughter, cuddles, and a little Halloween magic into my forever home. I love attention, giving kisses, curling up on laps, and soaking up belly rubs, ear scratches, and chin scratches from my favorite people. My dream is to find someone who will be my best friend through every adventure and cozy evening.
My Special Talents
Playtime Pro: I love squeaky, plush, rope, crinkle, and interactive toys, plus Kongs and chew toys!
Adventure Buddy: I enjoy car rides, leash walks, outdoor exploring, sniffing adventures, and running around before settling in for cuddles.
Professional Snuggler: After my zoomies, I love relaxing in a cozy pet bed or lounging with my humans.
Smart Little Pumpkin: I’m eager to learn, enjoy tasty rewards like hot dogs, jerky treats, and stuffed Kongs, and handle grooming well.
My Perfect Forever Home
I’d thrive with someone who’s home with me and can provide daily walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship. I use pee pads and walk nicely on leash. I can feel scared around big dogs and heights, and I may need reassurance when left alone. Gentle handling, regular grooming, and food suited to sensitive skin will help me shine. My vaccinations are up to date!
Could you be the missing piece of my pumpkin patch? Come meet Nugget and see if this little treat is your forever companion!
