My personality

My story

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

Fostered in Council Bluffs
Name- Nutmeg
Age- 7 months
Breed- Kelpie mix
What was your life like before NDCB/Where did you come from? I was found as a stray in South Sioux City. The animal shelter called the sweet people at the Rescue and asked them to take me so I wouldn’t be euthanized.
Who is your main caretaker/favorite person now? Foster mom and dad.
Are you good with kids? What age ranges?my foster home had a two year old. Kids are fun as long as they play with me! I am a high energy breed so tiny tots might be a little overwhelmed by my enthusiastic greetings but I never mean any harm.
Are you good with other dogs? Be VERY specific here I’m great I love to play. Sometimes I get a little rough and need to be told to chill so I would probably be a little too much for senior dogs. But playful dogs…I am ALL IN!!!
Are you good with cats? Well., I am a herding/farm breed so cats are REAL fun to chase. I probably shouldn’t be in a home with cats unless you are super dog savvy and can train me to leave them alone. As it stands, I will absolutely chase a furry kitty in the home and I might attempt to get the squeaker out 😬😬
Are you housebroken? I am doing so well in Foster! I have only had one accident inside the home and now my foster siblings have showed me to ring bells when I wanna go outside. It’s pretty cool!
What is your current potty routine? I ring bells at my foster home to go outside!
Do you like car rides? Yes! I love to ride! I hop right in any car however I should be seatbelted in because sometimes I try and sit in your lap while you’re driving. How was I supposed to know Mom was gonna freak out about that🤷🏻‍♀️ I just wanted to cuddle, her screaming was really unnecessary.
Do you like walks? How are you on a leash? What’s a leash? I’m still trying to learn.
Do you like toys? What is your favorite toy? Squeaky toys are the very best! But I also like hooves
Do you know any commands/tricks? Not yet but will you teach me? I’m super smart and eager to learn.
How are your house manners? I’m a bit of a bull in a china shop. I bounce and run and play but I also snuggle.
Describe your personality- as I just said I
Am a lot. But with some training and love I would be perfect
Describe your perfect home-I definitely need a fur sibling who can match my energy. I love to play and love all dogs. I would love a home with an active family member. I would be a great running partner or hiking buddy! I currently sleep in bed with my foster parents and would love to continue that. I’m not a bed hog. I go right to the bottom of the bed and go to sleep.

Go meet their pets

All of our pets reside in private foster homes so meet and greets are scheduled in public locations. We often hold adoption events at our grooming salon in Sioux City. All dogs have their Foster location listed as the first sentence in their bio so please make sure you check that. We do adopt out of state, but we do require that you either come pick up your pet or set up transport on your own. We can accommodate FaceTimes
