Nugget's Story

Nugget / Female / Approx. 1 Year / 20lbs / Mini Lab Mix / Good with Dogs / Untested with Kids / Good with Cats / From Mexico / Fostered in Toronto<br/><br/>The day Nugget ran up from the street, tiny, weak, and covered in ticks, she was simply looking for someone to help her.<br/><br/>After testing positive for parvo, Nugget spent months recovering in quarantine. Even during that difficult time she was incredibly gentle and quiet. Because she had to stay in the cat area while healing, she became known for curling up on the cat condo and sharing space peacefully with the cats.<br/><br/>Today, Nugget is the complete opposite of that fragile little puppy. She’s joyful, playful, and absolutely full of love.<br/>Nugget has happy puppy energy and truly loves everyone and everything. She is incredibly affectionate and thrives on attention, happily soaking up pets and cuddles whenever she can. When her people come home or start the day with her, she greets them with pure excitement.<br/><br/>With familiar people, Nugget is friendly, easygoing, and very loving. She simply wants to be close to her humans and be part of whatever they’re doing. With new people she may be curious at first, but it doesn’t take long before she’s coming back for more pets.<br/><br/>Nugget loves other dogs and enjoys playing with them. She currently lives alongside another dog and does well, and with time she will likely become even more playful with canine friends.<br/><br/>She previously lived alongside cats and did very well with them. She may occasionally chase or try to play a bit enthusiastically, but overall she is comfortable sharing space with feline companions.<br/><br/>Nugget hasn’t met children yet, but based on her friendly and happy personality she is expected to do very well with respectful, dog-savvy kids.<br/><br/>She enjoys walks, exploring the world, and saying hello to people and dogs she passes. Nugget is still working on her leash skills but is improving every day.<br/><br/>Nugget is a joyful, adaptable dog who could likely thrive in many types of homes. She would love a family who can give her plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. A yard would be a wonderful bonus for this playful girl.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a happy, loving dog who will fill your home with energy, cuddles, and a wagging tail, Nugget may be your perfect match.<br/><br/>Prior to coming into care, Nugget tested positive for Ehrlichia. Ehrlichia is a tick borne disease that stays in the bloodstream for many years. A CBC is performed to see if there is an active infection. Nugget's CBC came back indicating that there is no active infection. Ehrlichia positive dogs may develop chronic kidney disease at some point of their life. It is recommended that any dog that has tested positive for Ehrlichia have annual wellness blood work along with a 4dx blood test once a year unless clinical signs arise. If clinical signs of Ehrlichia arise bloodwork should be done sooner. Also note that she should have pre-op blood work including a CBC and platelet count before any surgery or dental extractions. (due to a risk of low platelet count).<br/><br/>If you’re interested in adopting Nugget, please apply at https://www.fetchandreleash.ca/adoption-info#adoption-form Nugget’s adoption fee is $850.<br/><br/>To learn more about our adoption fees and the adoption process, please visit our FAQs at https://www.fetchandreleash.ca/about-us#about-faqs.
