Hi! I'm Nugget, a 4yearold, 13lb Chihuahua–Yorkie blend, and yes, I really am a little Nugget; small, irresistible and the perfect bitesized buddy. I'm a snuggly guy who loves being close to my person, soaking up attention and handing out kisses like it's my fulltime job. My favorite things are curling up in the people bed, joining my human for car rides and embracing my destiny as a proud couchpotato king. Favorite Things: Nugget is an affectionate, social little dog who thrives on human companionship. He enjoys curling up beside his person, relaxing on soft blankets and being included in daily routines. Toys don't hold much appeal for him; he'd rather spend his time cuddling or tagging along with his human. Car rides are a highlight and he settles in easily for the trip. Training and Manners: Nugget is house trained when let out frequently and has a solid foundation of basic manners. He walks well on a leash and sleeps comfortably in the people bed at night. His foodmotivated personality makes reinforcing good habits simple and his relaxed nature makes him an easy companion for someone who enjoys a calm, predictable routine. Health and Care: Nuggets a healthy boy! He is neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccines. He'll need monthly heartworm and flea/tick prevention, like all dogs. His grooming needs are minimal, just regular baths and nail trims help him feel best. Other Animals: Nugget prefers to be the only pet in the home. He has shown protective behavior toward his person around other dogs and would be happiest without canine or feline roommates. Children: Nugget would do best in an adultsonly home where his environment stays calm and predictable. Ideal Home: Nugget bonds deeply and prefers not to be left alone for long stretches. He feels most at ease in a home where someone is around often. His mellow nature makes him a great fit for an apartment, townhome or condo. Thunderstorms can make him a bit uneasy, but reassurance helps him settle. A quiet home where he can relax and feel secure will help him thrive. Overall: Nugget is a snuggly, peopleloving little dog who brings warmth and charm to every day. True to his name, he's a tiny treasure; compact, delightful and absolutely worth his weight in love. With an adopter who appreciates his cuddly nature and sweet devotion, Nugget will become a loyal, heartmelting companion.
