McNugget is a sweet, shy girl looking for a patient home where she can feel safe.
Curious but cautious, she warms up with a slow approach. She seeks comfort from her people, often leaning in for cuddles or tucking herself by your side for security. McNugget takes treats gently, knows “sit,” and loves booty scratches. She enjoys squeaky toys and companionship. With love and reassurance, she’ll be your best cuddle buddy.
Eligible for rescue and adoption. Meet McNugget at ACCT Philly any day of the week from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

KENNEL PRESENTATION:
Mcnugget was on the back side and came up when called. She had soft eyes and a tucked tail. Once secured she came right out
LEASH SKILLS:
Pulls minimally
HANDLING :
Mcnugget came into the room a little nervous and went right under the table. I reached my hand under for her to sniff and she slowly came out curiously with low wags. She was friendly and curious towards both handlers. She took treats gently and knew sit. She was nervous of her surroundings and got frightened by the sounds in TTA. She likes a slower approach and did some sweet wags and gave some gentle kisses. She allowed all handling and loved booty scratches. She sought comfort a lot from the handlers and continued to run under the table for security but would come out to rest herself onto the handlers legs and laps. She is a sweet and shy baby girl that likes toys and to cuddle.
PLAY:
No interest
TOYS
Likes squeaky toys, scared of ball
01/27/2025 staff notes:
Very nervous but allowed handling after a slow approach. She did attempt to bolt a few times while on leash but calmed down after a bit. Warmed up a lot on the ride and was allowing me to pet her and ate treats from my hand gently. Very shy but gentle and sweet.
