About Nigel
Meet Nigel 🐾
Nigel is a lovely, affectionate boy who absolutely loves being close to his people. A true velcro dog, he’ll happily follow you from room to room before settling beside you—or better yet, on your lap if there’s space! He’s happiest indoors with his family and is very much an inside dog.
Nigel has a calm, easy-going nature around the home and simply enjoys being included in everyday life. Whether you're relaxing on the couch, working around the house, or heading out for a walk, he just wants to be by your side. He enjoys his daily walks, although he’s still learning not to pull on the lead, so he’ll benefit from a family happy to continue his training.
Nigel would be best suited to a home without young children, as they’re not something he’s comfortable around. He hasn’t been assessed with cats, so we’re unable to say how he would go living with feline friends.
One of Nigel’s funny little quirks is that he’s not a fan of having his feet touched—he’d much rather you stick to pats, cuddles, and scratches in all his favourite places!
If you're looking for a loyal companion who wants nothing more than to share your days and curl up beside you each night, Nigel could be the perfect match. With plenty of love to give and a gentle, devoted nature, he’s ready to become someone’s very best friend. 🐶💕
Dogs make wonderful companions, and the benefits of bringing one home are immense. They’re loyal, loving, and endlessly entertaining. Plus, you’ll never be lonely or bored with a pup by your side.
Adopting a dog can also provide you with an opportunity to give a pup in need a second chance. With the right amount of love and patience, you can help your pooch become a confident, well-rounded canine companion.
You’ll also get to experience the unique bond between two-legged and four-legged friends. Plus, dogs can provide you with plenty of physical and mental health benefits. From providing you with daily exercise, to reducing stress and anxiety, to providing you with unconditional love and companionship, the advantages of canine ownership are endless.
So, if you’re ready to welcome a pup into your life, consider adopting a dog today. You won’t regret it!

I CAN FLY TO PERTH!
Flying for a few hours is very important for animals in remote locations because it gives us the opportunity to be adopted. Talk to SAFE about flying me to Perth.
4 THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE APPLYING:
1. Time Commitment: Owning a dog is a big responsibility and requires a significant commitment of time and energy. Be sure to consider how much time you can realistically dedicate to caring for a dog and make sure you are prepared to make that commitment.
2. Cost: Owning a dog can be expensive. Make sure to consider the cost of food, medical care, toys, and other supplies. You may also want to think about enrolling your dog in obedience classes or hiring a professional dog walker.
3. Space: Depending on the breed, some dogs require a lot of space. Make sure you have enough room in your home and yard to accommodate a dog before making the decision to adopt.
4. Lifestyle: Think about your current lifestyle and how a dog may fit into it. Consider if you have any restrictions such as travel, work hours, or allergies. Also, think about how owning a dog may affect your social life.
