Nibbler | 3 yrs Chi mix | Your professional snuggle buddy

Nibbler is an 18-pound Chi mix who is about as easygoing as they come. He loves people, pets, snuggles, and being on your lap, but he is equally happy hanging out on the couch with you. He gets along great with other dogs and could happily live with canine friends or be your one-and-only.

Nibbler is doing well with house training and will stand by the door when he needs to go out. He sleeps through the night in his crate and settles quickly when left alone. His only potty issue so far has been occasional marking, which may improve once he is neutered.

This sweet boy is still working on his manners, but he is picking up "sit" quickly and is learning to take treats more gently. He loves snacks, gets ridiculously excited about mealtime, and has some adorable habits—including dancing, resting his head on you, and showing off his belly for rubs.

Nibbler would be happy in just about any home. He is a mellow, affectionate little guy who really just wants a comfy couch, a loving person, and plenty of snuggle time.

As with any newly adopted dog, Nibbler may have an occasional accident while adjusting to his new home and routine.

If you and the dog are a good match then we'll connect you with our dog's foster parents to chat more in-depth. If both you and the foster agree that the dog is a good fit then a meet and greet is scheduled. We require applicants' dogs to meet ours to ensure they get along. We'll ask you to read and sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee to complete the adoption when it comes time. Our adoption fees help cover the costs of saving more lives! A home visit will be scheduled within one week of your new pet going home with you.

The adoption fee for this pet is $400. Our adoption fee covers the following:

Spay/neuter

Microchip

DAPP vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog.

Rabies vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog.

Adopters shall be responsible for all vaccinations after adoption.
