About Nugget ~ Fox Terrier (on trial 21/6/19)
Nugget is a very handsome 11 year old Fox Terrier. He came into Dog Rescue Newcastle from very loving owners who sadly were not able to take him with them when they were moving.
Nugget is a happy man who loves to be around you. He is a very refined gentleman who is content as long as he is near his people.
Nugget was not used to being around other dogs before he came in foster care. Suddenly finding himself with 6 other foster siblings has been a bit overwhelming for him but he has taken it all in his stride. He now looks to join in and have a game. He is particularly intrigued by one of his foster siblings and will stand there near her waiting for her to show him some attention. Much shaking and muffled sounds ensue to grab her attention.
Nugget loves his food and is mostly toilet trained. He hasn’t mastered the doggy door as yet. He loves his walks but can pull on his lead. It is important that he has a harness on as he can slip out of the collar and lead. It is also important to know that although he has a short smooth coat, he is a shedder and will still need regular grooming.
Nugget has also quickly become accustomed to the inside life. He is particularly fond of “the bed” where he can snuggle, usually with my daughter. He has been great with my children who are in their teens but not sure how he would be with younger children who may want more from him than he can give. A single person or a couple would be ideal for Nugget.
Nugget is an intelligent boy who is quick to learn. His few grey whiskers give away his age but nothing else about him would tell you that he is an older boy. He is energetic, happy, loving and a real charmer.
