About Nugget & Boss
AVAILABLE
Boss - Chihuahua 5 years old and Nugget Terrier x 14 years old
Nugget and Boss are an inseparable pair that have formed a bond of brothers and are looking to expand their bond with a new forever family.
These two will be your little shadows and happily follow you around the house all day, go for adventures in the car with you, and their most favourite thing to do with you would be go on short strolls in the park. They can not contain their excitement when their leads come out!
Both Nugget and Boss are toilet trained. They can sleep inside with no accidents, and can also sleep outside with no fuss. They are quite happy left at home alone together just lounging around living the dig life.
Nugget and Boss make great little guard dogs, always letting you know when someone has arrived and acting as if they are a lot bigger than they are. But when you arrive home they absolutely will not be able contain their excitement and you will definitely know you are loved for a lifetime.
Boss is definitely the snuggle pot of the two. He is a perfect lap dog. At times he does love to be up in your arms for a cuddle and to feel safe, but also just to have a better view of the world.
Boss can be very protective of Nugget and his human family, so he needs a firm voice to tell him if he is behaving inappropriately. He sometimes barks and growls at other dogs to make up for his size. On the other hand he can be very timid and hide away behind you, so will just need a bit of reassurance.
Nugget is the chilled out dude who just loves a snooze! But it isn’t all sleep and no action, he is always MOST excited for walks. When in need of attention he will paw at you beg at your feet with his irresistible puppy eyes.
These boys were previously indulging a little too much, so are currently on a weight loss diet to reach their ideal weight for their size and breed. They have made great progress so far in their foster home but will need a forever family that is committed to continuing this work until they reach their goals. Nugget and boss are a bit nervous around food and wont eat with people buzzing around nearby, therefore would really love their family to be able to feed them in a quite place out of the way where they can be comfortable.
Nugget and Boss would suit a family with older children or an older family with no children, as they are best in quiet and relaxed environment.
They have so many cuddles to give and don’t ask for much in return, just a safe loving forever home.
Adoption fee of $400 each includes desexing, microchip, up to date vaccination, worm and flea treatment and full vet health check.
