Name: Nugget <br/><br/>Sex: Female <br/><br/>Color: Red & white<br/><br/>Eye Color: Blue<br/><br/>Birthday: 06/11/21<br/><br/>Weight: 50 lbs<br/><br/>Large Dog Friendly: It depends. With a slow introduction and the right dog she can be, but it takes her a while before she feels safe and comfortable around another dog.<br/><br/>Small Dog Friendly: It depends. She recently spent a weekend with a pug and had no issues. She seemed curious and unsure about what to think of a smaller dog.<br/><br/>Cat Friendly: Unknown<br/><br/>Crate Trained: Yes<br/><br/>Housebroken: Yes<br/><br/>Energy Level: Medium<br/><br/>Reaction to New People: Friendly<br/><br/>Kid Friendly: She would do well with kids age 12+. Her foster family does not have children.<br/><br/>Training: Knows sit, shake, down, kennel, and is working on the other basics.<br/><br/>Grooming Needs: Nugget has a standard husky coat which will require regular thorough brushing. You should aim for once a week or so, and more when she is blowing her coat, typically twice a year.<br/><br/>Fence: Fence or tie-out will work fine. She has shown no interest in testing fence boundaries.<br/><br/>Solo or Siblings: She would probably be best as an only dog, or with a confident, laid-back sibling.<br/><br/>From the Foster: Nugget came to AAHMN after being in two different shelter facilities for a few weeks. She was on a euthanasia list but luckily found a place with this rescue. Understandably, Nugget was quite stressed when she first came to her foster home but is now much more settled. She must have had a nice family at some point in her past because she loves people! She likes to snuggle and LOVES belly rubs! She is eager to please and is happy when you're happy. Unless it's breakfast time and you're not getting her food fast enough, then she'll talk at you to hurry up!<br/> <br/>Nugget is currently living with a fur foster brother and enjoys playing with him, but she would probably do best as an only dog or with a confident, easygoing sibling. She has shown some resource guarding around food and toys, but her foster family is working with her and she has been improving. She recently had a session with a trainer who thinks this issue stems from lingering uncertainty about her environment after being in a shelter for so long. A home that can provide consistency and structure will help her relax and be her best self, so any children in her new home should be 12+. Previous dog owner experience would also be beneficial for her. Other than that, we think Nugget will make a great addition to her new family and are excited for her to find her forever home. She deserves it!<br/><br/>Adoption Fee: $350<br/><br/>All dogs coming into Adopt a Husky Minnesota receive care tailored to their needs, including: Nose-to-tail exam with a partner veterinarian, Vaccinations (Rabies, Distemper, Bordetella), 4DX test to check for heartworm or tick exposure, Fecal Analysis, Heartworm and Flea/Tick Preventative, Spay/Neuter prior to adoption, Microchip, and are evaluated for temperament and trainability.
