Hi, I’m Nutmeg!

I’m a playful girl who just needs a little patience before we become best friends!

I can be unsure when meeting someone new, but give me time and I’ll come to you when I’m ready. Once comfortable, I enjoy attention, playtime and having dog friends to share my day with.

My rescue story

I came to Animal Aid at around two and a half months old, along with my brothers and sisters. We had been found without our mother and were brought in together as orphaned puppies. It’s possible we had been abandoned, but there was no way to know for sure.

The lovely people at Animal Aid made sure we were safe, cared for and given everything we needed to grow up strong. Now I’ve grown from a tiny puppy into a happy dog, and I’m ready for the next chapter of my life.

I’m dreaming of something of my own: a family to love me, cherish me and call me theirs.

Important notes

I need a little patience and slow introductions when meeting new people.

I could happily live with other friendly dogs.

I can be nervous around children and would need patient, carefully managed introductions.

Behavior

Around people: I can be cautious and uncertain when I first meet someone, so the best approach is to give me time and let me come to you. With a little patience, I relax and enjoy receiving attention.

Around other dogs: I get along very well with other dogs and love having playful friends. I’m also respectful of calmer dogs and am happy simply spending time near them rather than pestering them to play.

Energy level: I have a balanced energy level and enjoy regular walks and playtime. I don’t need huge adventures every day as long as my family gives me exercise, attention and opportunities to play.
