Nutmeg
Dog of the Week

 

Nutmeg is a playful, energetic girl who brings excitement wherever she goes. She loves stuffed toys, toss them around, and turn playtime into a full-on event. Ropes, toys, or anything she can get her paws (and teeth!) on quickly become her favorite. When she’s not entertaining herself, Nutmeg thrives on long walks and staying active—she’s got energy to spare and is always ready for the next outing.Don’t let her high energy fool you—Nutmeg is also incredibly polite. She’s well-mannered when it comes to handling, making it easy to put on her gear or interact with her. She knows how to “sit” and shows a willingness to learn, especially when she’s mentally engaged.Nutmeg is also quite the conversationalist! She’s a talkative girl who isn’t shy about sharing her thoughts, especially on walks or when she sees familiar faces. In the shelter environment, she can be a bit reactive or vocal toward certain people or barriers—but this is very likely a result of stress due to kennel life. With a stable home, routine, and guidance, she has great potential to settle and show a calmer side of her personality. She would thrive in an active home that can provide plenty of physical exercise and mental enrichment—think long walks, engaging toys, and activities that keep her busy and happy. If you’re looking for a fun, lively companion who will keep you moving and laughing, Nutmeg might just be your perfect match. She’s a good dog with a big heart, ready to find a home that understands her energy and embraces her quirky, talkative charm.
