Nugget

Meet Nugget, a young Dachshund mix who has been surrendered to our sanctuary, leaving behind a life he truly cherished. His arrival is a bittersweet reminder of how life can take unexpected turns. When he first got here, Nugget struggled immensely, he was terrified to leave his kennel and spent nearly all his time hiding in a corner. It was heart-breaking to watch.

Fortunately, with time and patience, Nugget adapted to kennel life and made friends with the staff and volunteers, who all describe him as a happy chappy.

As a rare singleton puppy, Nugget missed out on crucial opportunities to learn essential canine communication and coping skills from his littermates. This lack of early socialisation may lead to frustration and sensitivity to handling later in life. Because of this, we are looking for a very special adopter, preferably one with prior dog experience, as Nugget is not suitable for first time dog owners.
