Nigel is a clever, affectionate, and striking Rat Terrier with a history that demanded resilience. After being rescued from a rough situation in Nevada City, he's shown a remarkable capacity for love and learning. While Nigel is still working through some insecurity, he's transformed with care and is now a playful, bright companion. Snuggling is his specialty, and he takes naturally to leash training, showing strong potential for agility or just plenty of adventures at your side. His classic tuxedo coat catches the eye, but it’s Nigel’s energy and personality that really shine. He has an alpha streak and thrives when he’s the central focus—Nigel would prefer a forever home where he’s the only pet and gets plenty of activity, stimulation, and bonding time. Nigel adapts quickly to car rides and carriers but isn’t comfortable being left alone for long stretches; he needs someone patient and dedicated who can keep supporting his progress. He’s made great strides and will do best with someone willing to help him continue growing in confidence. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
