Nuggie's Story

*Nuggie is temporarily living in a foster home until they find their family. If you would like to meet Nuggie, we recommend scheduling an appointment with one of our Adoptions Specialists, so we can ensure they are here to meet you when you arrive. Please click "Adopt Nuggie" to complete an interest survey and one of our Adoptions Specialists will connect with you to set up an appointment!*<br/><br/>Meet Golden Nugget, a senior dog with a heart of gold and a personality as rich and layered as his name suggests. While he has a sweet and loyal side, he also knows exactly what he likes-and what he doesn't. He's independent, spirited, and full of character, just like you'd expect from a classic Chihuahua.<br/><br/>Golden Nugget is friendly on his own terms, often forming strong bonds with his favorite people. He's sharp as a tack and still enjoys exploring his surroundings with youthful curiosity. Once you're in his circle, you'll find a fiercely loyal companion who brings joy, laughter, and a whole lot of heart into your life.<br/><br/>He'll thrive in a home that appreciates his quirks, respects his space, and is willing to advocate for him with others. Whether that means letting guests know he needs a little time to warm up or ensuring he has a quiet spot to retreat to, Golden Nugget does best with someone who understands and honors his boundaries.<br/><br/>Adopting Golden Nugget means embracing a dog with opinions, charm, and endless personality-and gaining a devoted, one-of-a-kind friend for life.
