Meet Nutmeg Nutmeg:"Knock, Knock." Magnum: "Who's there?" Nutmeg: "Hatch." Magnum: "Hatch who?" Nutmeg: "God bless you." Nutmeg, our resident jokester, delights the shelter with her endless supply of knock-knock jokes. She's the kind of comedian who finds her own jokes hilarious, earning her the affectionate nickname "Nutty" from her canine pals. Weighing in at 40 pounds, 2.5 years old, Nutmeg is a bundle of joy and smiles, always ready to brighten someone's day. Nutmeg's Journey Nutmeg's story is as heartwarming as her personality. She was discovered wandering during a severe winter arctic blast that hit Southeast Missouri. Thankfully, she was brought to safety just in time to avoid a tragic ending. However, Nutmeg faces another challenge, as her deadline for finding a foster home is April 1, 2026. A Friendly Companion Nutmeg's charm extends beyond her jokes; she is fantastic with other dogs, especially the larger, "husky-sized" males. They seem to appreciate her cheerful demeanor and adjust to her size with ease. Her playful nature and endearing personality make her a favorite among her four-legged friends. A Model Resident Nutmeg isn't just about fun and games; she's also well-mannered. She keeps her kennel immaculate, uses her "napkin" after meals, and is quiet unless she's entertaining with her comedy. Her good behavior and lovable spirit make her an ideal candidate for fostering.
