NIGEL

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 4 months

Nigel is a 2-month-old adorable puppy who arrived at the shelter with his siblings. Like any young puppy, he is at the beginning of his life and still has everything to learn. He is looking for a family willing to accompany him patiently, kindly, and consistently in his education. Cleanliness, walking on a leash, house rules, socialization... everything will be built with him. The first months are essential to allow him to become a balanced dog who feels good in his paws. He will need time, activities adapted to his age, and a lot of love to grow serenely. Can only be reserved for now.

Nigel est un adorable chiot de 2 mois, arrivé au refuge avec ses frères et sœurs. Comme tout jeune chiot, il est au début de sa vie et a encore tout à apprendre. Il recherche une famille prête à l’accompagner avec patience, bienveillance et cohérence dans son éducation. La propreté, la marche en laisse, les règles de la maison, la socialisation… tout sera à construire avec lui. Les premiers mois sont essentiels pour lui permettre de devenir un chien équilibré et bien dans ses pattes. Il aura besoin de temps, d’activités adaptées à son âge et de beaucoup d’amour pour grandir sereinement. Ne peut être que réservé pour le moment.

About NIGEL

What life with NIGEL looks like

NIGEL is a puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at SPA Cholet in Cholet.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇫🇷Adopting from France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting NIGEL, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about NIGEL?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SPA Cholet handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw NIGEL on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt NIGEL if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SPA Cholet will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is NIGEL already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if NIGEL isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with SPA Cholet early rather than rehoming privately; they know NIGEL and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (FR). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
