Nugget's a 10.5yr old Pembroke Welsh Corgi, a tiny girl with a big heart. She was found as stray by animal control, abandoned in the middle of a field. She was alone and in a very neglected state. She was filthy with overgrown nails, and had lameness in her legs. Mentally and emotionally, she quickly showed a resilience that was eager to love.

We'll never know why Nugget was left out there, but we can speculate based on her condition and symptoms that her prior humans got overwhelmed. She needs a very dedicated individual, couple, or family that will be committed to her quality of life. Nugget was has DM (Degenerative Myelopathy) and gets around by scooting, or with the assistance of her wheels. She is currently still potty trained and will alert when she needs assistance. She's sweet, playful, affectionate, and talkative, although very respectful, using inside voices. It goes without saying, Nugget needs a little more help than your average dog, but what she has to offer in companionship, loyalty, and devotion make it all worth it. 

DM is a horrible disease and not easy to witness; it is essentially doggy ALS. Nugget had no control over this diagnosis, she can only push forward and hope that someone will love and accept her as she is, and give her the gift of a quality of life. If you've had experience with DM, maybe the universe was preparing you for the next DM dog that needs you. Nugget would love a furever home with someone that works from home, works in a dog friendly office, is a stay at home mom, is willing to hire a dog walker, or is retired. Ask yourself, what would you do if this happened to your dog? She's a perfect stroller dog to accompany just about anywhere. Consider opening your heart and home to Nugget, a dog that truly needs you.
