Meet Nutmeg, a devoted little mama who has just finished raising her seven beautiful puppies and is finally ready for a forever home of her own.
Shortly after arriving in rescue (after being dumped along with another dog), we discovered she was pregnant, and she spent the past three months in full "mama bear" modeloving, protective, and completely dedicated to her babies. Now that her puppies are grown, Nutmeg is beginning to relax and truly blossom.
She can take a little time to warm up to new people and new dogs, as she's still adjusting to life without the constant responsibility of motherhood. With her foster family, she is affectionate, gentle, and incredibly sweet. She is house-trained, crate-trained, sleeps quietly through the night in her crate, and is very treat motivatedmaking her both a wonderful companion and eager learner.
Nutmeg does well with the cats in her foster home (she occasionally tries to initiate play) and is starting to show her playful, lighthearted side now that she doesn't have to be on guard all the time. She may bark at sounds outside as she protects her home, but otherwise she is a pretty quiet girl.
Nutmeg has given so much of herself raising her puppies. Now it's her turn to be cherished, spoiled, and loved in a home where she can simply be someone's beloved companion.
