About this Dog
This tall, dark, and handsome boy is Nugget! Nugget is a very energetic young guy who looks like a Brittany spaniel mixed with a long-haired dachshund. He’s estimated to be around a year old and weighs about 16 lbs. Nugget is an affectionate, fun-loving boy with lots of puppy energy and zest for life - which is pretty typical of a spaniel mix. You’d never know it now, but Nugget came to us from the Contra Costa County shelter with a right rear hip injury, so he wasn’t putting any weight on that leg. He had a femoral head ostectomy (FHO) surgery at UC Davis to remove the ball from the ball and socket joint of that hip and has been recovering for the last couple of months. And recover he has! He now loves to go for walks and zoom around his foster mom’s backyard at top speed - that injured hip is a distant memory! UCD diagnosed him with luxating patellas in both back legs, but that appears to be very mild now that his hip has healed, and doesn’t slow him down at all. Nugget is house-trained and sleeps quietly in his crate overnight. He gets along great with his current doggie roommates (he has 6 of them right now!) but takes some time to warm up to new dogs and may do best as an only dog. We don’t know how he’d be with cats, but we think he’d probably like to chase them to try to convince them to play too. Because of his energy level, we think he’d do best in a home with kids 10 years and older. Nugget is reactive to other dogs when out on walks and needs a family that can dedicate the time to work on his training. Ideally, he would be adopted by someone with reactive dog experience or that is willing to work with a positive reinforcement trainer. Nugget loves to play with toys and does a pretty good job playing “fetch” with a ball. He also knows “sit” and “lay down.” Like most young dogs he likes to chew on things. One of his favorite things to chew is a beef hoof - to him, it’s kind of like an all-day sucker. He can sit on a floor pillow or sofa and chew on it all evening while watching TV with you. Nugget is very affectionate and loves to stay close to his foster mom and follow her around, so he’d be perfect for someone who works from home. Nugget really loves to play and is looking for an active family that can keep up with his peppy personality. Due to his energy level and dog reactivity, Nugget wouldn't be a good fit to live in an apartment. Does Nugget sound like a good match for you and your family? He’d love to meet you! Nugget's adoption fee is $350. Apply to adopt here! https://form.jotform.com/52017002013129/ Applications are also available on the website (www.yolospca.org) It can take up to 3-5 business days to hear back once you have submitted an application. The Yolo County SPCA is a private, not-for-profit, foster home-based animal rescue organization and does not have a shelter. All our animals awaiting adoption are in foster homes. Our adoption fees help us cover the cost of spay/neuter surgery, microchip and registration, and rabies vaccination (if over 4 months of age at intake or spay/neuter) for all animals. Dogs are tested for heartworm, started on preventatives, and given a DAPP vaccination. Adult dogs are up to date on their vaccinations prior to adoption. Puppies will be current on the vaccinations appropriate to their age. The adopter is responsible for additional vaccinations as necessary after the adoption.

Adopt Nugget and Receive Dogecoin
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Nugget's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised. Dogecoin is digital currency that can be exchanged for cash, traded, or held as an investment (see the "What is Dogecoin" section below).
0.0 DOGE is Nugget's current Dogecoin balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. If you adopted the Nugget, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Nugget's Dogecoin here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the Dogecoin by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Nugget was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Nugget’s Dogecoin balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
"The fun and friendly internet currency."
Dogecoin sets itself apart from other digital currencies with an amazing, vibrant community made up of friendly folks just like you. Dogecoin is a decentralized, peer-to-peer digital currency that enables you to easily send money online.
Learn more about it on youtube or at dogecoin.com.
We want the Nugget’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Nugget’s balance will remain in our general Dogecoin fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
