BIO:
Cheerio! I'm Nigel, and I'm a fun-loving young dude who will thrive with an active family who loves adventure as much as I do. I already love long walks and think I will make an excellent work-out buddy to encourage my human on their exercise journey. My other favorite activities include chasing my foster doggie siblings, tossing around and chewing on toys, and playing with the water hose! I think given my exhuberance and energy level, for now I would do best with older children who can handle my extra pep. I get along with other doggies, and though it would be fun to have a canine sibling that enjoys my playstyle, I could also be a solo pet as long as my humans keep me entertained and well exercised. My ideal forever home would be a single-family house without shared walls (so no apartments/condos/townhouses, please!) because I like to tell stories. In case you can't tell, I am very smart (I am already mostly potty trained!) and would appreciate humans who will help me work my brain as much as I love physical pursuits. Fetching Tails requires adopters to sign up young pups like me for training classes, and I am eager to show off just how fast I can learn. Maybe we could even attempt an agility class once we've mastered basics? I think I'd be pretty good at it, and I can already imagine how much fun we'll have learning and working together! What do you say? Can I be your busybody best furry friend for life? Hurry up and fill out an adoption application today so we can get our life of fun and adventure started ASAP!

Puppies are cute, cuddly and looking for a family to call their own. They need an owner who is home often, and willing to help with training, socializing and housebreaking. They need to be let out often so they can learn to go potty outside. Training is required, and we will need to see proof from adopters that puppies have been signed up for classes. They need an owner to be committed to them forever, and in return they will reward you with a lifetime of cuddles, kisses and love. Sound like a commitment you're ready to make? Please fill out an adoption application and Fetching Tails Foundation will be in touch soon!
