NUGGET's Story
BEST FRIEND MATERIAL RIGHT HERE. HE"S THAT DOG THAT JUST "GETS YOU"<br/><br/>Plus he has the most ridiculous nicknames ever. Nugget, Nuggy Nug, Huggy Nug, Nuggy Bear, Huggy Nuggy, Chicken Nugget, Nug Nug, Nuggy Nuggy and of course, Puppers and Bud. <br/><br/>This is a super nice dog who was born into some not so super nice circumstances.<br/><br/>Nugget's social skills were a little underdeveloped when he first arrived as a pup born in the sage on the Yakama Reservation. He was shy and timid and unsure about many things most dogs take for granted, like attention, toys, indoor amenities and human compassion but man oh man, did this dude catch on fast. <br/><br/>In his foster home, where five personal dogs co-exist, along with six other foster dogs, Nugget has settled in, understood the assignment and quickly become his foster's fav tenant. <br/><br/>No Lie.<br/><br/>He is calm and well behaved, a gentle treat taker, crate trained, house trained, good on a leash, travels well, has learned to play with and love toys, could not care less about cats, loves to play with other dogs and is just generally, a really really good guy. The kind that will lay his head on your leg and look at you in total admiration or lay in front of you, while you sit on the toilet, snoring away in total repose, making sure you feel safe. <br/><br/>We cannot say for sure, if Nugget is Boxer Shepherd mix. Rumor has it, his mom was a boxer mix and there were German Shepherds, Dobermans and even Mastiff's sniffing around her, who could all be possible dads but at ten months old and only about 50bs, whatever he is, he is easy to work with, willing to work with you and happy to be in your presence as your best friend. <br/><br/>Nuggy is about 10 months old, and should max out in the mid fifty pound range, if he is not over fed. He has not been around small children so older kids would probably be best but he is gentle and thoughtful, so if those younger than ten, are not uncontrollable and unpredictable, he would be fine. We also feel he has the possibilities of being a good watch dog, though he is not an excessive barker. He just sounds the alarm, when their is weirdness happening and his bark is fairly formidable. <br/><br/>If you are a first time dog owner or someone looking for a dog that is easy to be around and doesn't ask for much outside of your love and care, we hope you will consider Nugget. He overcame a very poor start in life and has blossomed into an extraordinary young dog with a mellow attitude, tons of potential and a heart full of hope. <br/><br/>If you would like to meet this very handsome boy, please go to our website at www.allmuttsgreatandsmall.org/adoption and submit the application. With approval we would love to set up a date and see if the sparks fly.<br/><br/>Nugget is neutered, up to date on five way and rabies vaccinations, wormed, flea and tick free and microchipped. He has a good solid start in life now and would be an awesome adventure buddy, walking companion or RV,Camping, Hiking side kick or just kick it at home best friend.<br/><br/>Adoption Fee is $350 <br/><br/>PLEASE NOTE*:<br/><br/>* We require notes from certified doctors when<br/>requesting a dog as an ESA<br/>*Inquiries submitted through Petfinder, are not the<br/>same as applications submitted through our webpage.<br/>*Yes we do out of state adoptions.<br/>*No, we do not transport.
