About Nutmeg
Nutmeg is resilience personified, wrapped in black and cream fur. At 8, she has adapted to life without vision with a sense of calm intelligence, showing an unwaveringly positive spirit despite the challenge of sudden blindness. Nutmeg quickly learned her foster home's layout, orienting to voices, and finding her favorite spots with confidence and ingenuity. She is social and gentle, happiest when she's close to her people—whether you're in the kitchen, relaxing, or heading outside for a bit of fresh air. She perks up in the backyard, loves roaming and exploring, and settles in her crate for naps or bedtime with no fuss. Walks are a pleasure with her harness, and her affection is genuine and steadfast; she simply wants to belong and give her whole heart. Nutmeg thrives on companionship, routine, and a home where someone is around much of the time to provide gentle guidance. She gets along well with other dogs and is content with a steady pace and sunny nap spots. Her blindness doesn’t define her, and her loyalty, intelligence, and love stand out even more. Nutmeg’s ideal family understands her need for predictability and will appreciate the calm presence she brings. As a winter solstice-born dog (Sagittarius sun, for the astrology-minded), she shines brightest with a loving routine. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
