Story
Woof* I`m in a foster home! Email my foster caregiver to meet me: terihart@gmail.com Meet Nugget! Super smart, super polite and a total gentleman. Nugget has taken queues wonderfully from everyone in the household… from the 19-year old cat who he gives a wide berth (he seemed to immediately understand that she has very bad balance and can barely see anymore and so he defers to her, giving her the right-of-way), to playing with the 4-year old cat (who is a bit of a brat as the cat attacks his toes whenever he is sleeping), to becoming good friends very quickly with our own somewhat reactive dog, to enjoying the company of a small hoard of teenage boys as they wrestle and play games with him after school. Clearly this good boy can blend into any family and every activity.But most of all he really enjoys human company. Nugget is super cuddly and loves to lie around with his people. However, when it comes time to get up and out, he’s also great on leash. Plus, he’s super food motivated which will make training easy. Nugget is a very good boy with a beautiful personality so please contact his foster to learn more about him!
