A Note from the Foster: Nutmeg is the sweetest pup around! She came to us a bit shy and not sure how to navigate being in our home; but has flourished within a week to loving attention from everyone, settling into routine, lazy napping with her dog best friend, and meeting new people. Nutmeg can still be a little timid when approached by new people and dogs, however can quickly become your best friends with slow interactions.
Nutmeg is doing fantastic potty training and learning her name! She is not the biggest fan of her crate and takes a little bit to coax into, but she settles in fine once in there. On walks, Nutmeg is curious and enjoys time outside. She has been doing a great job on her leash. Nutmeg enjoys playing and being near the resident dog. She has done excellent around children of all ages and enjoys the attention. Nutmeg can’t wait to meet her forever family and give them all her adorable cuddles!
Adoption Fee: $500 + tax
Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
