Nutmegs story is a bit sad.. She was found tied to a persons fence, all alone with no owner in sight. The persons property she was tethered close to, did not know her and stated they have never seen her before, and neither have the neighbors. Nutmeg is around a 2 year old, terrier mix. Nutmeg was a bit nervous coming into the shelter, and does seem to get more cautious around some men, however she is opening up nicely otherwise. She becomes very playful, and enjoys a game of tug with her rope toy. Nutmeg can become over stimulated, so she is recommended to a home with teens, 14 and up.
