unable to resolve NuGet package dependency when using in non-sdk project but works fine with sdk project

I have a NuGet package with the following directory structure.

dog.1.0.0.0      - packages      - dog.dll

This NuGet works and resolves dependencies when use in an SDK Project template project but it does not work with a non-SDK project template project even it gets installed but does not resolve the dependency.

Note: I am using the PackageReferences format for both projects.
