Nigel

ABOUT THIS ANIMAL:
Hi, I’m Nigel! I’m a unique mix of German Shepherd, Labrador Retriever, Beagle, Chow Chow, Catahoula, and more, according to my DNA test. I’m a senior guy with a lot of personality and a fun-loving spirit. I’m an ideal walking buddy who walks right alongside you without pulling—unless I spot a cat, then I get a little excited! I’d thrive best in a calm, adult-only home where I can be the one and only dog. I need an experienced owner who understands dogs with special behavioral needs, as I have some sensitivities to touch (especially around my head and collar) and resource guarding issues. Kids and other pets are not a good fit for me. Though I’m a little rusty with dog social skills, I’m a good boy who’s looking for a patient family that will help me feel safe and loved.
