Meet Nugget! This handsome fella is 1 1/2 years old and full of love. He's incredibly smart and the biggest cuddler! He absolutely loves people and getting all the attention he can. He's very toy and treat motivated, but struggles a bit with dog-dog resource gaurding. Nugget needs a home with no other animals. He has a lot of energy, so a fenced in yard would be very beneficial for him to thrive. He is house broken and kennel trained, though he doesn't enjoy being in a kennel. He is up to date on all shots, microchipped, dewormed, and neutered. I would love to see him go to a home with someone who is looking for a companion to go through life with.
