nugget

Do you need a friend for listening? Nugget is all ears! Nugget is a very sweet and gentle boy who was found roaming the streets of Philly as a stray. Since getting to the shelter he has shown to be an affectionate and playful boy who is very gentle with handling! He's looking for a friendly human to walk into the shelter and bring him home for good.

Nugget is now available for adoption at ACCT Philly- you can meet him any day from 10am-6pm!

Behavior Notes:

Behavior Eval 11/8/25:
Kennel Presentation: When I approached his kennel he calmly greeted me and waited for me to leash easily.

Leash Skills: He walks very well on leash without much pulling.

Sociability: He is very handler oriented and checked in with me frequently while we walk. Knows sit and is a bit snatchy with taking treats. Allowed me to handle his body all over, including touching his paws and tail. When he saw a bird, he dashed across after it so may have a bit of a prey drive.

Play: Showed interest in chasing after toys and like to romp around the play yard.

Dog Interaction: He had a very nice meet with another dog through the fence with a calm and loose body without being overly interested.

Return to Kennel: Went back into kennel with some leash pressure.

Color Level: Gave gold color
