Nigiri TX

Nigiri has been patiently waiting for over four months, watching his friends head off to their forever homes… and wondering when it will finally be his turn. This sweet 10-year-old Maltese mix may be small (just 10 pounds!), but his heart is huge.



Nigiri is the definition of a "Velcro dog"-he loves being close to his person and will happily follow you from room to room, just to keep you company. If you're looking for a loyal little shadow who will shower you with quiet devotion, Nigiri is your guy. He's also great with dogs and does well with kids, making him a wonderful addition to many different types of families. Nigiri would do well with a dog buddy, but otherwise his perfect home would be with someone who is retired and is home a lot. Or is retired and wants to take Nigiri with them when they run errands, etc.



Nigiri does have diabetes, which means he needs insulin injections twice a day. But don't let that scare you-he takes them like an absolute champ, with zero fuss. He's cooperative, gentle, and makes it easy to care for him. All Nigiri really wants is someone who sees past his medical condition and recognizes the loving, gentle companion he truly is. He's past the puppy chaos and ready to settle into a calm, cozy home where he can spend his golden years by your side.



Nigiri has been overlooked for far too long. Could you be the one to give him the forever home he's been waiting for?
