Nigel is an awesome Shipoo puppy who will grow up into an amazing lifelong friend! Nigel is a little bit shy.  He was born in a puppy mill where he understood dogs were his friends but not so true with  people.  We have been showing him that people can be pretty nice, too! He is a super sweet little guy that will charm you!   Nigel is learning his potty skills and doing well with frequent potty breaks.  He's good with dogs, cats and everyone!

We consider every dog a flight risk but puppy mill dogs are often higher risk.  We like these dogs to have a fenced in secure yard. Nigel is fully vetted, He has been neutered, received age appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and is heartworm negative,  Subsequent vaccines are at the expense of his adopter      His adoption donation is $900.00. 

He is on the hunt for his own completely committed family, Little Dogs can live to be 20+ years old so he wants to be sure his family is all in for better or for worse!   IF INTERESTED IN A PUPPY (UNDER 9 MONTHS): YOU MUST HAVE A FLEXIBLE WORK SCHEDULE OR SOMEONE HOME ALL DAY. PUPPIES NEED TO BE LET OUT TO POTTY OFTEN, THEY NEED SOCIALIZATION AND BONDING AND NEED TRAINING (HOUSETRAINING AND BEHAVIORAL TRAINING). IF YOU WORK LONG HOURS, HAVE A BUSY SOCIAL SCHEDULE OR NOT FINANCIALLY SECURE THEN A PUPPY IS NOT FOR YOU.   

We adopt in the local Chicago metro area. We require home visits, If you would like to apply to be considered as an adoption candidate to adopt Nigel please fill out an application for his adoption on our website at:   https://www.rescuetailsanimalwelfare.org/info/aoption   

We are all volunteers with full time jobs. We try to get back to all applicants within 72 hours. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to us at: RescueTailsAnimalWelfare@gmail.com.   If you aren't looking to adopt, but still would like to help Herbie please consider a donation for his food, housing, and veterinary care. To donate, please visit: https://www.rescuetailsanimalwelfare.org/
