About Nigel

Ladies & gentleman, we're excited to introduce the most dapper man you'll ever meet... Say hello to our little dude Nigel. He's a 3 year old Terrier mix, who weighs in at 24 lbs. Handsome, compact, sweet, silly, funny, inquisitive, timid, goofy, & loving are just a few words to describe him! Nigel came from a hoarding case of 15 dogs and him feeling like a part of a pack helps keeps his anxiety down - or else he wants to sit in your lap, or sleep in your arms or run circles around you in the yard until he finally rolls over for a belly rub!! Nigel is very fearful when it comes to new people, is currently working on his separation anxiety & will need a furever home that will have patience & the time to help him excel. He takes treats like a gentleman. He is crate trained but prefers not to be in one. It's necessary though, because Nigel is also smart enough to learn how to open the garbage can drawer!! Completely house trained, and will let you know when it's time to go out by running back and forth to the door. Not much of a barker, but will whine for about ten minutes when put in his crate. LOVES to go for walks, but likes to check everything out on both sides of the sidewalk and could tangle someone up if they aren't paying attention!! Nigel loves other dogs and cats!! He will cuddle up with my cats - even if they don't want him to!
