Nugget - Pug and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Coachella, California

Hi, I'm Nugget!

My life began in the desert near a ranch, where my mom gave birth to seven puppies. When two of my siblings disappeared, Desert Paws Sanctuary knew they had to help. Despite being completely full, they rescued my mom, dad, and all of us puppies and gave us a chance at a better life.

A few days after my sister Sweet Pea got sick, I started showing signs of parvo too. Thanks to quick action and lifesaving treatment, I recovered and am now doing wonderfully.

These days, I'm all about being a puppy. I love to play, wrestle, explore, and make my foster family laugh with my silly antics. I have a big personality packed into a little body and a whole lot of love to give.

I've overcome a lot in my short life, and now I'm searching for the one thing missing, a forever family to call my own.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
