My name is Nutmeg!

Hello folks! I'm Nutmeg and I'm everything you're looking for in a dog. Need housetrained? I wouldn't dream of making a mess. Need a girl who excels at agility and is active but also loves lounging with you on the sofa with you watching Netflix? Righty-oh! Thats me.

Want a pup who pays close attention to everything her owners says? I'm your girl! I know my commands, look and listen, and focus well on my people.

But more than that, I've lived in a family with children and was the apple of my family's eye. They could not keep me but can attest to the love in my heart, the goodness of my soul, the gentleness and kindness I bring to my home. I'm an absolute gem and I aim to show you that on our very first meeting.

I am five years old, maybe a beagle/terrier mix, and 40 pounds. I am friendly, happy, and sweet. I've lived well with a dog my size and my family said I am good with cats too. I would be happy to have a family where there is usually someone around like a parent or another pet, as I am used to a lot of togetherness. I enjoy being in a loving home so much and I cannot wait until I have that again.

Until then, I'll keep making everyone here at Desert Haven smile. I have a big beautiful one of my own too and I like to use it often. I'm a happy girl even though I have a medical condition. I have diabetes. This is a condition which requires me to have a shot of insulin after I eat breakfast and another shot of insulin after supper. I'll need these insulin injections for the rest of my life.

My insulin helps me stay healthy and I know that so guess what I do? I sit perfectly well for my shot. My caretaker is able to give my shot lickety split and then we hug and it's like it didn't even happen! I'm such a good girl.

I wonder if there is a human diabetic out there that would love me as a companion? But really, the shots are pretty simple so anyone who is awesome could make me part of their family and the folks at Desert Haven will teach you all about my healthcare plan and how to do my injections and meal timings. My health condition is a blip in my day really. The rest of the time we spend hanging out and snuggling together. I have a big soft cushy doggie bed and I love to jump into it then I get cozy.

I love going for walks too. I'll also be spending a lot of time snoozing lots of the day away because you know how us dogs like to snoozeatooze. But don't forget play time because that's on of my favorite times of the day. Chase chase chase the toys! Squeak squeak squeak.

Most of all though, I crave love. I am love! So if I'm your girl, there will be big love in store for all of us. I am a bestie of all besties. Are you in need of a companion? I am yours.

To meet me: Drop in at Desert Haven on Tuesdays 9-4 or call/text 575-740-0643 to schedule an appointment any day of the week because guess what Greta does, she drops everything to do intros!
