Nugget - Shih Tzu and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in New York, New York

Meet Nugget.

Nugget is an adorable Shih Tzu with the sweetest personality. She was lovingly surrendered when her owner could no longer provide the care she deserved, and now she's searching for a family to call her own.

This gentle little girl is friendly, affectionate, and happiest when she's surrounded by people who love her. She's taking all of life's recent changes in stride and is ready to start her next chapter with a family that will cherish her forever.

Nugget doesn't need much, just a warm lap, a loving home, and someone who will promise she'll never have to wonder where she belongs again.

Could that someone be you? Adopt Nugget and give this precious girl the happy ending she deserves.

All dogs will be altered, microchipped, and receive age-appropriate vaccines prior to adoption.

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.
