My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Nutmeg was turned in to the county shelter in early February. While there, she seemed wary of new people, which did not help her on the adoption front. Nutmeg is a five-year-old, 45-pound Pit Bull and Boxer mix. She does have a brief moment of shyness but if you have treats or start itching her bum, she will be your bestie, quick as a blink. She is a total lapdog and wants to soak up as much affection as she can. If you get goofy, or squeak a toy, she will get all silly and show you her amazing zoomies. Nutmeg is also a smarty-pants; she knows sit, paw or shake, and we think she knows down. If Nutmeg goes to a home with children, there should only be older children. Give a call to meet your new girlfriend! The adoption fee for Nutmeg is $300, which is higher than it would be under our normal fee schedule. That is because she is one of our Guardian Angel dogs. Guardian Angel dogs are highly desirable adoptees, and their increased fees are used expressly to help defray costs for our rescues with special needs such as advanced medical treatment or training for behavioral issues, or for those who are with us for unusually long periods of time. In this way the Guardian Angels directly help our other rescues! All adoption fees include spaying/neutering, age-appropriate vaccinations, microchipping, and a free wellness visit at Phoenix Mountain Animal Hospital. Our adoption hours are Thursday-Saturday from 11:00 am-4:00 pm by appointment.
