My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This cute little bean is Nigel, and he is the 2nd of 9 babies from mama Dilley’s litter! Nigel (male), his siblings, and his mom came from a small town shelter in Texas. They made their way to Wisconsin in July when the puppies were just under 2 weeks old…and it is now soon time (Tuesday, 9/10) for them to head home to families of their very own! Nigel’s mama (her photo will be in the comments) is listed as a rat terrier/chihuahua mix; she is small @ only around 20lbs. Nigel was born on 7/12/24 and currently weighs-in right around 6lbs. While we don’t know who the puppies’ dad is, Nigel definitely has more of the physical features of a chihuahua…and our best guess is that he could range around 30-35lbs when fully grown (again, this is just an estimate!). He is your typical young puppy and so far has only known life with his mom + siblings, so will need LOTS of patience and consistency when it comes to both potty-training and crate-training. He is dog, cat, and kid-friendly! Nigel is a bit more on the shy side, so should have a family who’s ready to continue working on his confidence and social skills. Once he gets to know you, he is so lovable and so playful! He plays hard, but he loves harder…and he has so much love to offer! If you’re looking for a constant companion + cuddle buddy, he may just be the one for you… If you’re interested, please apply + reach out via private message. Just ask for Nigel!

**Nigel’s $250 adoption fee includes his neuter, vaccines to date, and microchip.
