Ah, NUTMEG. Warm with a hint of sassy spice, there’s not even one ounce of bitterness in this 3-month-old pup. At just over 8 pounds and growing, NUTMEG might be small (for now!), but her love for people and playtime sure is potent.

Shy at first, yet curious in nature, NUTMEG is a delightful blend of contrasting qualities. Exploring new environments brings her joy, and while she’s curious about those who are young and those who are young at heart, make sure to give her some time to warm up to new human friends. As a pup who continues to learn, NUTMEG can be nippy, which is something to keep in mind if and when she interacts with kiddos. She’s also learning all about leash training and that not everything she spots while out on walks is hers to eat!

What makes us smile is NUTMEG’s playful personality coupled with the occasional spurt of rambunctious energy. What warms our hearts is her love for a good cuddle. We’ll be the first to tell you that she’s got a subtle undercurrent of sweetness, this one :) Her excitement around mealtimes is particularly endearing.

Being committed to her training and enforcing boundaries will help this pup become her most confident self. As it stands, NUTMEG has become more accustomed to loud city noises, which is great progress. Still working on those chewing tendencies of hers, it’s important to ensure she gets the physical and mental stimulation she requires. Otherwise, she might just go for your shoes. Or your furniture. On the whole, we think NUTMEG could benefit from having another dog who can handle her playful energy, and show her the ropes in her new home.

Now, NUTMEG might not frequent culinary circles, but it just so happens that she’s hoping to make a splash in the adoption scene. Apply today!
