Nugget

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 3 months

Hi, I am Nugget. I am a 3-month-old boy who was brought to safety from a village together with my siblings. My start was a little harder than theirs. When I was very small, I refused to eat, and because of this I did not grow as quickly as my brothers and sisters. I am still around half their size. But I kept fighting. I am a little survivor who has already shown just how much determination can fit inside one small puppy. My vaccinations are currently in progress, and I will be ready to travel from mid-October. I am a friendly, gentle and submissive boy who loves to play. My confidence is already 9/10, and I have a nicely balanced energy level. I am good with dogs, cats and children, and I could live happily in the city or the countryside. When I am fully grown, I am expected to be medium-sized, around 16 kg. I also have a normal tail. I am Nugget. I may have started out smaller than my siblings, but I have already proved that I have a very big fighting spirit. Now I am ready for the family who will help this little survivor grow up loved and strong.

About Nugget

What life with Nugget looks like

Nugget is a medium-sized puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at The Dog Rose) in Dogrose.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇨🇭Adopting from Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.

Frequently asked

Adopting Nugget, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Nugget?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. The Dog Rose) handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Nugget on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Nugget if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — The Dog Rose) will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Nugget already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Nugget isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with The Dog Rose) early rather than rehoming privately; they know Nugget and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
