About Nugget
Hi My name is Nugget, and I am a Maltese x Shih Tzu and I am 1 year and 1 month old!
I came into care due to personal reasons from my previous home.
My foster mum says I have to write a bio telling you about me ……… well okay here goes……….
My foster mum thinks I’m such a good boy, she tells me I have settled in nicely into the home and love life.
I currently have some human kids that I hang out with and I love it! I also love my foster mum and she has reminded me that when I am adopted I will fall in love with my new mum and I have to warn her that I will be her little shadow and follow her everywhere that she goes.
Nothing really bothers me too much, my foster mum calls me just a happy go lucky little guy who loves life.
I do love a car ride and walk excellent on my leash. I am happy to say hi to other furry friends that we pass along the way, however the crazy ones do frighten me a bit and I can give them a little growl. I do need a daily walk, otherwise my mum says a go a little crazy.
My foster family leave me home alone 3 days a week while they go out into the big world something about needing to earn the money for things. I don’t really like when they leave and do get a bit anxious, but I am learning that they do come home, and everything is back to normal again. Sometimes I move their things around the house when they are gone, just so they don't forget that I'm still here
So if I have to put my order in for what I am looking for in a home you betcha it’s with someone who is home more often than not, works from home, can take me to work with them – I would be a awesome assistant.
I am learning some basic commands, and can sit and shake! My foster mum is very patient and the treats she gives me are just delicious!
I am getting used to going outside to the bathroom, but sometimes I do forget and can have a little accident.
I am not tested on cats
I much prefer to be indoors most of the day so i can keep an eye everything that's happening.
I have a coat that requires grooming so please remember that is a life time commitment for me but the good news is in between grooms i will sit and let you brush me every day especially if you include a good back scratch!
Oh yeah need to chat about sleeping arrangements - just so you know, your bed is now my bed too.
I am a very cuddly little boy and love nothing more than sitting on the lap of those I love.

Adoption details
Paw Prints Canine Rescue is a non for profit dog rescue located in Southeast Queensland.
All our dogs leave our care with full vet work (up-to-date vaccinated, microchipped, desexed, heart worm and intestinal wormed and flea treated).
Please note - They will not leave for their new homes until they are 12 weeks of age and have been desexed, micro-chipped and vaccinated up to date.
Please note - we are not a pound or have kennels - all our dogs stay in foster carers homes and therefore dogs are not able to be simply viewed - only approved applicants will meet the dogs.
Please Note: We do not hold any animals so please only apply if you are ready to adopt now
Please note - We don't take calls on adoption enquiries - an application must be completed
We can also be found at https://www.facebook.com/pawprintscanine/
Complete the following adoption enquiry link
https://goo.gl/forms/PqpkCcE89ikDR2Lw1
Once an adoption enquiry is completed our admin team will assess the application and if successful we will arrange for a meet and greet to be completed. We may also request photos of your yard for consideration of your application. Please note that we will do no more than 3 meet and greets per dog.
Approved applicants will be contacted to arrange a time for a meet & greet via email. You must bring your current dog along to the meeting if you are meeting another dog/puppy, this is to ensure they get along before commencing adoption - proof of your dogs up-to-date vaccination is required before any meet and greet is arranged.
Our adoption fee must be cleared in our bank account before any animal is available for pick up. Please note we bank with ANZ - any other bank may take 48 hours to process the monies.
Paw Prints Canine Rescue has a 10 day trial period – this basically means that if for any reason the adoption does not work out and the dog needs to be returned to us, the adoption fee minus an admin fee (minimum is $100) will be returned to the adoptees via bank transfer within 7 working days.
Please note that if an interstate adoption needs to be returned or regional adoption all transport cost with be paid by the adopter.
Please also note while this can be a very exciting time for everyone, it can also be an overwhelming time for dogs and we ask that you do try and allow your new family member to settle in their new home and adjust
INTERSTATE ADOPTIONS **
Any transport costs are to be paid by the adopting family, however we can assist you in helping with transport to airports etc.
** Please note some of our dogs are not available for interstate adoption
AFTER THE TRIAL PERIOD
After the 10 day trial period is completed Paw Prints Canine will send out all relevant paperwork for your new furbaby via email including the transfer of microchip form.
