Meet Nugget!

Meet Nugget – your pocket-sized bundle of joy! Nugget is an 8-month-old Chihuahua with a heart full of love and a playful spirit that will steal your heart. Weighing just 6 pounds, she’s the perfect size to accompany you everywhere in style—whether it’s in your Chihuahua bag or snuggled in your arms.

Nugget has the most adorable snorts, caused by a birth defect on her nose. This unique feature doesn’t limit her in any way and only adds to her charm. One of her favorite comfort rituals is gently nibbling your finger as she drifts off to dreamland during nap time.

She’s also a social butterfly who gets along wonderfully with dogs of all sizes, bringing joy and energy to every playdate. Nugget is microchipped, and up-to-date on all her vaccinations. She’s had a full vet check-up and is in good overall health. Nugget is friendly with new people and handles unfamiliar situations with ease, making her an adaptable little companion.

Her ideal environment would be one where she has a friend—whether another pet or a family member to dote on her. However, she’ll do well on her own too, as long as she’s spoiled relentlessly. Nugget loves kids, cats, dogs, and any other pets you might have, so she’ll fit in beautifully with a variety of families.

She’s both crate-trained and potty-trained, with very few accidents. Nugget even knows the commands "outside" and "inside," showing how eager she is to learn and please. While she’s still getting the hang of walks, her curiosity and trainable nature make her ready for new adventures. Her previous fosters all agree:

Nugget is one special girl. She will need patience and love as she decompresses and learns that you are her forever home. With time, she’ll reward you with endless affection, laughter, and snuggles.
