Happy Trails (Tails!)

Wow, has it been a bumpy road for little Nutmeg so far! First she's abandoned by her owner and left in the catch pen at a shelter in the middle of the night. Then, she gets lucky and someone in the shelter calls IBR. She gets into rescue but has to stay in boarding for two weeks until a foster home opens up. While in boarding, she loses 6 lbs and starts incubating a pretty nasty bug that later on manifests as pneumonia, beginning one day after arriving in foster care!

Despite her rough start in rescue, Nutmeg is now thriving. She is such a sweet little girl, clearly unused to getting affection from people, but now that she's well, she's figuring it out fast! Nutmeg wasn't housetrained when she got here to her foster home, but she is doing so well, letting me know when she needs to go out by going to the door. She is a quick learner! It only took 2 days for her to learn the invisible fence, and we are working on the thank you game, "leave it", and "wait". She's eager to please and oh so sweet!

Nutmeg has fit right in with my pack, as the youngest of the four, she has plenty of puppy spunk. She's gentle with my cats, loves to collect stuffies, and is quite a character. She will make an amazing companion for some lucky adopter, and I suspect she even has hunting potential, as she is very birdy and already has a lot of confidence.

Here she is with foster brother Rowan, always the goof, he hams it up for the camera as Nutmeg tries to figure out what the heck he is up to! Below, she looks on and tries to figure out how exactly she is going to get that stuffie...

Please consider opening your home to this lovely girl, she is waiting to hear from you!
