nugget

Hi, My name is Nugget and I'm a big bundle of pure love. I'm happiest when I'm near my people and have never met a stranger, human or animal. I'm fully house-trained and kennel trained. While I'm not much of a barker, I definitely like to “talk” and let you know how I feels in my own adorable way. I enjoy the simple things in life: Chewing on a good bone, Playing with other dogs, Trotting along behind my doggy friends (I'm more turtle than hare!). I can be a little klutzy or goofy at times, but my foster family says it just adds to my charm and personality. One of my favorite things in the world is to be brushed and pampered — grooming makes me feel good! I absolutely love attention and will happily soak up every bit of it.
I do have special needs, but medicine keeps me well. The Dr's say I have epilepsy, and it took some time to find a protocol to control my seizures, but I have been seizure free for the last 5 months as of June 2026! It does require a strict medicine schedule of three time a day, so I'd do best in a home where someone is around most of the day. I'm a great work from home partner!

If you want to meet a pup in person, Once Upon a Tail Rescue does adoption events at PetSmart in Covington, LA on most Saturdays with many of our adoptable dogs there.

Don't forget to complete your application ahead of time, so you don't miss out on the pup you've connected with. If pre-approved, you have first priority & can usually take home your new best friend the same day!

*Please note that there is no obligation to adopt by completing an application.*

**All dogs are required to have complete vet services, including shots, rabies, spay/neuter and microchip, which are included in the Adoption Fee. Some dogs may still require completion of these services due to current age, size, breed and/or health. All vet services must be done at the vet clinic used by Once Upon a Tail Rescue in Mandeville, LA.

*Don't forget to follow us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/onceuponatailrescue, Instagram #outdogrescue, and TikTok @onceuponatailrescue
**Every share brings a deserving pup one step closer to their forever home!
