Hi there,

My name is Nugget. I am about two years old and weigh around 12 lbs. I was rescued in Texas where I was left tied outside all the time in the heat. No one cared for me and I was emaciated, matted and flea-ridden, with long nails and painful sticky burrs next to my skin. My foster Mom took me to the vet immediately, who said that I also had a prior (minor) leg fracture that had not been treated.

Temperament: friendly with small and larger dogs, and people. Child-friendly. I enjoy car rides, supervised outside yard time and toys. I am a cuddler who likes to sleep next to my person(s).

Energy level: medium. Playful but I also like to relax in between.

Vetting: Fully vetted - neutered, UTD on core shots and bordetella, comprehensive bloodwork, fecal test, 4Dx test, microchipped.

Health challenges: Relatively unaffected by prior minor leg fracture. Will occasionally lift my leg if tired.

Adoption Donation: $350

I am looking for a quiet home with or without kids and other dogs. A fenced yard would be great. Are you looking for a warm, squishy cuddler? I just might be the one you are looking for. Please apply at www.lahpstr.com.
