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.

Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS. We do not transport to potential adopters.

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

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. 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.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

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 without knowing a pet’s full history.
