Nugget's Story

Meet Nugget! Hi! I'm about 2 years old, and I came to a Texas shelter with my sister, Honey, after our previous owner could no longer care for us.‍ While that chapter was hard, I'm ready to turn the page and start a much happier one! I'll admit it, I'm the clingier sibling I love being close to my people and soaking up all the attention (which just means extra sweetness, right?). I'm a total lovebug who adores people and does great with other small dogs, too. I'm also pretty smart if I do say so myself! I'm doing wonderfully with crate training, walk nicely on a leash, and I'm puppy-pad trained. I really enjoy learning and try my best to be a good boy every day. If you're looking for a loyal little sidekick who will stick by your side and fill your days with love and smiles, I might just be your perfect match.
