About Nutmeg

Nutmeg, a 10-year-old Chihuahua, has had quite the journey since being surrendered by her owner. After enduring the stress of shelter life, she arrived at Frosted Faces Foundation on August 4th and is ready for a new beginning. She has quickly adjusted to her foster home, proving herself to be sweet, affectionate, and well-mannered. Nutmeg loves to be around people, following her foster mom everywhere and happily plopping onto laps for cuddles. She's playful and enjoys fetch, but she'll also surprise you with her gentle nature—one morning, she grabbed a shoe and playfully shook it before presenting it back, unharmed. Her foster mom notes that Nutmeg hasn't had any accidents and is crate-trained, showcasing her adaptability. Whether enjoying small meals of wet food or calmly interacting with goats, Nutmeg displays a charming demeanor. She's also non-reactive during walks, passing by other dogs with ease. Nutmeg is a joy to have around, combining playfulness with a calm disposition that makes her perfect for any loving family. Ready to meet this gem?
