Story
Meet Nougat!
Fun Fact: Nougat loves tennis balls and will request games of fetch! She's very good about bringing the ball back and dropping it at your feet, even nudging it closer with her nose if you aren't throwing it fast enough.
Rescue: Albert's Dog Lounge
Age: Senior
Weight: 13 lbs
Health issues: Nougat had several tumors removed on 12/5: two lipomas and one probably cancerous mammary tumor. The tumor was removed entirely, however, this is something the adopter should keep a close eye on for any changes or new growths. She also had hernias in her groin repaired. She was spayed and had a dental cleaning at that time. Her bloodwork and everything else are within normal range.
History: Nougat was surrendered along with other dogs due a change in her owner’s life.
Foster home: Mequon, WI
Activity level: Low, except for ball chasing
Friendly with: other dogs, cats, and older, respectful children
Sleep style: Nougat prefers to sleep pressed up next to you, under the blankets
Meals: 1/3 cup Fromm kibble 2x a day
Bark-o-meter: 3/10
Shedding meter: 4/10
Personality: Nougat does not act like a senior. She’s up for whatever you want: a game of fetch, a walk outside or just chilling.
Best feature: A tail that never stops wagging
Loves: Tennis balls, Sleeping in your bed and stealing cat toys
Dislikes: Being Alone. Though she does okay when left alone for a few hours, she will be most happy with someone who is home most of the time and lets her sleep in bed with them.

Microchipped
Nougat will potty outside if given frequent breaks and if the weather is favorable, but may also have accidents.
Very easy to leash walk
