About Nugget

Meet Nugget, a sweet and gentle 1-year-old Labrador Retriever mix who weighs in at a scruffy 75 pounds. His joyful spirit and affectionate nature make him a standout companion. With a knack for hugs—albeit sometimes without permission—and a penchant for snagging food from unexpected places, he embodies the playful characteristics that make dogs so endearing. These habits can be improved with training, making him an excellent candidate for a family that can help refine his manners. Nugget enjoys the company of everyone: dogs, humans, and children alike. However, his exuberant playfulness may lead to a bit too much excitement around cats, so a home without feline friends would be best. He has a big heart and no concept of personal space, perfect for snuggling on the couch at the end of a long day. Just keep an eye on the little ones to prevent any accidental tumbles. If you're in DC/MD/NoVa and ready to welcome this lovable potato into your home, apply today!
