Meet Nigel
Nigel is ready to leave his past behind and start his next adventure in a loving forever home. This young, bouncy, large mixed-breed boy is bursting with personality, affection, and enthusiasm for life. He’s the kind of dog who will keep you smiling with his playful nature and win your heart with his gentle, sensitive side. Nigel is looking for a family who will see his potential and enjoy helping him grow into the amazing companion he’s destined to be.
Nigel may feel a little unsure in brand new environments, but with calm guidance and positive experiences, he is already showing that he can build confidence and settle in beautifully. He truly shines when he feels safe and supported, making every small win incredibly rewarding for his people.
One of Nigel’s favourite things is the company of other dogs. He would absolutely thrive in a home with a confident, friendly canine companion to help show him the world and boost his confidence. With a doggy friend by his side, Nigel relaxes, learns, and has even more fun.
Nigel is a big, lovable boy with so much to give. For the right home, he’ll be an incredibly rewarding companion-loyal, fun-loving, and ready to be your new best friend.
How our Adoption Process Works
Step 1) Preparation
Read our Adoption Philosophy and make sure your views on dog ownership align with ours. Please read this entire page to make sure you are ready for adoption day.
Step 2) APPLY
Browse available dogs online, review our dog sociability matrix and then complete an adoption questionnaire.
Step 3) ADOPTION
7 DAYS A WEEK: Walk ins welcome for adoption interviews between 11am-3pm! Our gates remain open until 4pm, but we conclude our adoption interviews at 3pm so we have time to take the dogs out, feed them and get them ready for bedtime.
During quieter periods, we will also do our best to review online applications, but unfortunately cannot get back to every applicant, especially for more ‘popular’ dogs. If you agree with our adoption philosophies and are ready to adopt- please do not wait for us to contact you after submitting a questionnaire.
PUPPIES & DOGS IN FOSTER CARE: If you are particularly interested in a young puppy or a dog that is currently in foster care, please indicate this on your questionnaire. Young puppies will not be on site here at the Refuge as it is much more beneficial for them to remain in foster care until their adoption. For dogs and puppies that are not on site, we will review online applications and get in touch with suitable homes to arrange a meet and greet.
