About Nugget

Nugget is a lively 7-month-old Miniature Poodle, packed with charm in his tiny 4-pound frame. He's a little guy with a big personality, ready to find a loving home. Though he has a grade 4 luxating patella in his left hind leg, which will require amputation, he remains full of energy and character. His right front leg has healed from a previous injury, and he navigates life with a unique, sassy sit. Still in the process of potty training, Nugget would thrive with a patient and encouraging adopter. He may be easily startled by sounds or reflections, which can make the world feel overwhelming for someone so small. However, with the right support, he can build confidence and flourish as a beloved companion. If you’re willing to nurture this little guy and cheer him on, reach out to Judy's Forgotten Jewells to learn more about adopting Nugget. The adoption fee is $900, which covers his care until adoption, including neutering and the upcoming amputation procedure, when scheduled.
