Description:

Nigel is a very sweet puppy who has found himself homeless.

He likes to play ALL OUT with dogs his size who can hold their own with his energy level. He would not be a good match for small dogs since he sort of bowls them over. Nigel really likes balls and stuffed animals, and he does not destroy them.

Nigel sleeps on his doggy bed at night. He is potty trained and will whine when he needs to go out. Typical of pups, he is a little mouthy to get you’re your attention. His foster is working with him on this. Because of this puppy behavior, he may not be a good match with toddlers.

He knows “sit” and recognizes his name and responds. Nigel REALLY enjoys being petted. He does not appear to have any food aggression although has a hard time waiting for his turn to get food and snacks, but he is learning.

He is very sweet boy who wants to please and is walking well on a leash. He may pull initially but then settles in and is fine. Nigel is neutered, current on vaccines, micro-chipped and tested negative for heartworms.

*The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility and does not come with a pedigree. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed. Sometimes the pets appear to be a particular breed(s) in the pictures we receive from our rescue partners and when they arrive we are surprised to see an entirely different breed(s) in person! If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess. It is with deep longing that we wish there was a breed called "cute" as we believe all of our dogs would fall under this new breed classification!

Completion of an Adoption Application via our website www.midwestanimalrescue.org is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is the first step in our adoption process.

*Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption.

When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.
