Story
Say hello to Nugget! Looking for a happy, wiggly, always-ready-for-fun companion? This handsome Cavalier Spaniel mix is just 10 months old and already an expert at stealing hearts. With his jet-black coat, lots of beautiful waves, and that adorable smile, Nugget is one very handsome little guy. Nugget came to us as an owner surrender, and he’s ready to leave his past behind and begin his next adventure with a family of his own. At 10 months old, he’s still very much a puppy, which means he has plenty of energy, curiosity, and enthusiasm to spare. In fact, Nugget is basically an Energizer Bunny with four paws. He loves all kinds of activities and would be thrilled to have a family who enjoys keeping him busy and involved in the fun. When he’s not on the go, Nugget is an affectionate sweetheart who loves being with his people. He is always smiling and seems to have a permanent happy-face setting. He is dog friendly, cat friendly, has been crated, is housetrained, uses pee pads in the home, and even knows his “sit” command. This little guy has lots of love to give and would make a wonderful companion and sidekick. There are a few important things his future family should know. Nugget is definitely a barker, so apartment, condo, and townhouse living are not for him. Nugget can also be protective of his food and toys, so a home with older, respectful children is preferred. His family will need to continue helping him learn that sharing is a good thing. That gorgeous wavy coat also needs a little attention to keep Nugget looking his best. He will require occasional grooming to keep those fabulous waves neat, healthy, and tangle-free. Nugget will be turning one year old on November 6, 2025, and we think the very best birthday present would be a family of his own. This delightful, happy fellow is ready for adventures, cuddles, playtime, and all the love you can give him. Nugget is available through our Foster-to-Adopt Program, which means you can welcome him into your home while he finishes his veterinary care. His vetting will include neuter, vaccines, microchip, and testing for heartworm disease. If you think Nugget could be your new best friend, please fill out an online dog adoption application and email dogadoptions@parmashelter.org to arrange a meeting with him. As always, a meet and greet with your resident dog must be scheduled. Nugget’s adoption fee is $200. Come meet Nugget and prepare to fall in love with this cheerful, energetic, wavy-haired little guy. He’s ready to be your next great adventure—and your favorite sidekick.
