She is a pretty amazing dog. She cuddles on the couch, chooses to potty outside when offered, and really WANTS to near you. In her foster home, she's interactive and stays close to foster mom (not too close.... ). She enjoys chewing a toy, keeping an eye out for stranger danger, and LOVES to eat. She wags her tail in a helicopter shape, dances when she's excited, and loves to play with other dogs.
Adopting Nutmeg will likely take some time as you get to know her and she you. Here's some things you should know -
She's going to bark at you and run from you the first time she meets you. She doesn't auto-trust people and you can't expect to be fast friends.
She LOVES food and can be bought. With high value treats, she will come around
Because she is leash reactive and can can be challenging to walk, a home with a fenced in yard will be best for her.
She's get comfortable much faster if you sit on the ground. Be prepared for lots of sitting.
This special lady was rescued from a hoarding situation along with her TWELVE puppies. She came to us having no idea how good life can really be and is learning everyday. Life many of us, Nutmeg comes with her share of challenges. They can all be overcome and will be rewarded with a life long friend that genuinely appreciates the gift.
It's not her fault she's traumatized, but she's willing to work through it with you if you're willing to help her grow into the amazing dog she is. Maybe you can really understand her and where she's coming from and you can help each other grow and heal. She deserves it and so do you.
