Nugget - Miniature Poodle Dog for Adoption in St. Louis, Missouri

Nugget

Birthdate: 3/2/2026

Neuter Status:
Will be scheduled for neuter when we can get him scheduled for her hind left limb amputation.

About Nugget:
Nugget is a 7-month-old mini Poodle with a huge personality packed into a tiny body. At just 4 pounds on a good day, this little breeder-release pup is energetic, spunky, and ready to find his person!

Nugget has a grade 4 luxating patella in his left hind leg. Because it cannot be repaired, that leg will be amputated to improve his quality of life. He also previously broke his right front leg. It has healed, and he uses it to get around just fine-it simply turns out a little when he sits, giving him his signature sassy sit.

He's still working on potty training and will need someone patient to help him build confidence. Sounds and reflections can spook him, but when you're only 4 pounds, the world can feel pretty big!

Nugget is a special little guy with plenty of energy and personality. If you're ready to cheer him on and give him the love he deserves, reach out to Judy's Forgotten Jewells to learn more about adopting him.
