Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Nigel!
Age: 6 years
Breed: Chi cross
Dogs: YES | Cats: [not tested] | Kids: YES
Status: Adoptable
Nigel is a handsome little boy who is a rich chocolate brown in the sun. He likes to stick with you at your side at all times, even while you sleep -- but if you don't want him in the bed with you, he will sleep in his dog bed as well once evicted from the human bed!
He is amazing with other dogs of all sizes, but cats are still an unknown. There is a cat in Nigel's foster home, but they have been avoiding each other! We've also discovered that Nigel loves children.
When you're gone from the house, this little guy does absolutely fantastic. He has no separation anxiety and he will just curl up and sleep until you get home (and when you do, you get tons of kisses and excitement ♥)
He knows how to 'come' and he knows 'lay down', but he will need additional training to bring in more obedience commands. He is fantastic both on and off leash: doesn't pull, and when he's off-leash he sticks by you or comes when he's called.
Nigel is a super affectionate little boy with a cute personality. When he's napping after a long day or has had enough play time, he does like his space, and can be a little nippy to show he's ready to have some Nigel-time. Children older than 5 or 6 would be recommended.
