Meridian Pet of the Week: Nugget

Nugget is tiny, at 6 pounds and is about 9-10 years old. He is friendly and cuddly and good with other dogs. He came to the shelter from Phoenix, where he was found and taken to the county pound. He had a bit of dental work done and blood drawn to ensure he is healthy. He does have a heart murmur but is generally healthy and shows no signs of sickness. He likes to sleep, be outside in the sun and for walks, and riding in the car.

My perfect day would consist of sleeping on the couch, going outside to sunbathe, riding in the car and then going for a leisurely walk. I am housebroken, quiet, well-mannered and an overall great little guy. I don’t want to brag, but I am pretty perfect.

Meet Nugget or other dogs at the Meridian Canine Rescue and fill out an application. The rescue’s new location is 501 E. Scenery Lane, Meridian. Hours are noon to 5 p.m. Thursday through Sunday. Call 208-794-0944 or go to meridianrescue.org.
