Nugget is a very excitable and loving English Bulldog. She wants nothing more than to be around her people so she can love and be loved. Nugget's favorite time of the day is the morning when everyone gets up and any time people come home. During those times Nugget loves to grab the nearest toy and run around, she'll even take her toys out to go potty! Nugget sometimes enjoys her foster brother who is also an English Bulldog. They love to wrestle outside! Other times Nugget thinks her brother needs to back off her people. Although she tries to keep attention away from the other dogs, she has never shown aggression toward humans. Nugget would love a home that would take her on walks as she is very curious about the world!
While in foster care, all our dogs are thoroughly vetted. Any discovered medical issues will be disclosed above. Our Lucky Bulldogs (and their smushie-faced buddies) are cleared by their vet for adoption prior to us accepting applications. All our dogs will be up to date on Rabies & DHPP vaccinations, up to date on Heartworm preventative after a negative Heartworm test, and spayed or neutered prior to being adopted out to their forever homes. Often times, our dogs are given dentals and sometimes nare-widening surgery if needed while under anesthesia. All surgical and medical history we have will be shared with adopters. Further details can be discussed with the foster volunteer during the phone interview for the applications that are chosen to proceed to the phone interview part of the adoption process.
All our dogs are crate trained unless otherwise noted on their "All About" pages.

We will accept applications for our available dogs for 1-2 weeks except in cases of overwhelming popularity where we may stop accepting new applicants sooner. Once we have stopped accepting applications, we will review them and proceed with a phone call with our top two applications to chat about the dog being applied for, go over the adoption process, and answer any questions the potential adopter has. After phone calls take place, we will decide on our top applicant choice and proceed to contact them to schedule a home visit (in person or via video chat), and check vet and personal references before the adoption is ready to be completed. This process can take up to 6 weeks.
