About this Dog
Meet Nugget — The Shelter’s Hidden Gem, Ready to Sparkle in Your Life! Don’t let her time in the shelter fool you—Nugget is pure joy wrapped in a tail-wagging, belly-rub-loving sweetheart. After bravely battling through heartworm treatment, this resilient girl has come out the other side healthy, happy, and more lovable than ever. Nugget’s spirit is unbreakable. Despite the long shelter stay, she’s stayed cheerful, cuddly, and ready to shower everyone she meets with affection. Her gentle nature makes her the go-to “dog tester” at the shelter—she helps welcome new pups and sets the bar for dog-friendly behavior. In rescue lingo, she’s what we lovingly call bomb-proof. When she’s not winning hearts with her friendly charm, she’s playing tag, chasing toys, or curling up in your lap for a cuddle session. Belly rubs? Yes please—she’ll melt into you like butter on a warm biscuit. Nugget dreams of a home with a fenced yard where she can zoom, sniff, and explore to her heart’s content. She’s the perfect mix of playful and affectionate, and she’s finally ready for the chapter she truly deserves: life with her forever family. If you're looking for a loyal best friend who brings both laughter and love, Nugget’s your girl. She’s a diamond in the rough who’s more than ready to shine. Adopt Nugget—because your heart’s been waiting for her and hers is already yours. Apply now!! If interested in Nugget, please apply online: ADOPTION APPLICATION or email us at [email protected].

Adopt Nugget and Receive Nugget's Fund
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.
$0.0 is Nugget's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Nugget, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Nugget's contribution 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 contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. 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 balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
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 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!
