About Nugget
Nugget is a remarkable 3-year-old giant who is ready to rule your heart and home as the sole canine companion. This impressive mix of Doberman and Pit Bull power (with a hint of Lab and Weimaraner) weighs in at a solid 100 pounds. He’s not just a big guy; he’s a big softie who dreams of being a dedicated cuddle buddy on your couch. His previous owner described him as affectionate and friendly with people, and he revels in his toys and treats. However, Nugget does require special attention due to some resource guarding behavior, particularly with food and toys. It’s essential that he finds a home where he can be the only dog, allowing him to relax without the stress of sharing his prized possessions. While he has shown a playful side with other dogs at the shelter, his protective instincts have unfortunately led to severe incidents with other pets in the past. Therefore, he needs a loving home that understands his needs and can provide a patient, structured environment. Nugget is not just a pet; he’s a loyal friend waiting for a dedicated adopter. Come meet this lovable guy today! Available for adoption only through Pima Animal Care Center. Interested parties must visit PACC before the deadline of July 21st, 2026 to ensure a good fit.
