About Nugget
🐾❤️ Meet Nugget — A Handsome Senior Boy Looking for His Forever Home ❤️🐾
Nugget is a handsome 10½-year-old Jack Russell x boy with the most beautiful nature. He is chilled, easy-going, quiet, placid and very polite — just an absolute sweetheart. 🥰
Nugget gets along well with other gentle dogs and is happiest living life at a relaxed pace.
He enjoys having a little stroll around the backyard, finding a sunny spot for a peaceful sunbath when the sun is out, and then retreating to his fluffy warm bed or the couch to relax beside his favourite human. ☀️🛋️🐶
Nugget is a very polite boy… but there is one thing he takes very seriously — FOOD! 😂❤️
He absolutely loves his meals and, while he would never bully another dog, he certainly won’t let anyone bully him out of his share! After all, a gentleman has to make sure he doesn’t miss dinner! 🍗😂
Nugget will munch on kibble when he has to, but given the choice, he much prefers a nice hearty meal. He especially enjoys his healthy home-cooked dinner — and we suspect this handsome boy knows exactly how to appreciate a good meal!
Nugget doesn’t ask for much from life. He is perfectly happy spending his days relaxing around his favourite person, enjoying the comforts of home. And while he loves having his human around, he is also a sensible boy who understands that sometimes his humans have things to do and he is happy to spend some quiet time on his own.
At 10½ years old, Nugget is looking for someone who will give him the loving retirement home he deserves.
All he really needs is:
❤️ A warm, comfortable bed
🌿 A secure grassy backyard
🐾 Gentle companionship
🏡 A safe and loving home
❤️ Someone committed to loving and caring for him throughout his golden years
In return, Nugget will give you all of his heart.
He will be your quiet little companion, your couch buddy, your backyard sunbather and your devoted friend. Most importantly, he will be there for you with all the love his little heart has to give. ❤️
Senior dogs like Nugget don’t need a complicated life. They simply need someone who can see how incredibly special they are and give them the love, security and comfort they deserve.

Adoption details
PFPRI Adoption Process
Please read our adoption process carefully before submitting an enquiry.
1. Pre-Adoption Screening
All applicants are required to complete our pre-adoption screening questionnaire when submitting an enquiry. This helps us understand your household, lifestyle and suitability for the animal you are interested in adopting.
2. Meet & Greet
After reviewing the responses, the most suitable candidates will be contacted to arrange a meet & greet with the animal.
3. Adoption Application
Following a successful meet & greet, shortlisted applicants will be invited to complete our formal application to adopt.
4. Adoption Approval & Payment
Once the adoption application has been approved, the full adoption fee must be paid within 24 hours to secure the adoption.
5. Adoption & Pick-Up
Pick-up of the adopted animal can be arranged once the adoption fee has been received and the adoption has been confirmed.
6. 14-Day Trial Period
We offer a 14-day trial period to help ensure the adoption is the right fit for both the animal and the family.
If the adoption proves unsuitable during the trial period, the animal may be returned to PFPRI and the adoption fee will be fully refunded, provided the animal is returned in healthy condition.
Our priority is always to ensure that every rescued animal is placed into a safe, loving and suitable forever home.
