About Nugget

Poppy is a spirited little guy who’s ready to charm his way into your heart! Born in the desert, he was part of a litter that faced some tough times before being rescued by Desert Paws Sanctuary. After a close call with parvo, Poppy received prompt care and has bounced back to health with his playful spirit intact. At just two months old, he loves to romp around with his siblings, chase after toys, and fill his day with playtime, cuddle sessions, and snack adventures. This friendly pup is great with other dogs and would thrive in a home with children. Now that his rough beginnings are behind him, Poppy is eager to find a loving family to share his enthusiasm for life with. Could you be the one to give him his forever home? Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
