A little about them
Nutmeg is a sweet chocolate Bully Mix with hazel eyes who was rescued after being found starved and full of worms. She received veterinary care and has thrived in foster care. She loves people, toys, and chew treats, and is looking for an active forever home.
Ideal Home
Nutmeg needs a companion dog to play with and does best with experienced dog owners and older children. She gets anxious when left alone, so she needs a canine companion or person with her most of the day. An active family familiar with puppy habits would be a great fit.
