Story
Nutmeg – Small Dog, Big Spark! Breed: Shih Tzu Mix Age: 2 years Weight: 15 lbs Sex: Female (spayed) Rescued: 10/17/2025 Meet Nutmeg, a tiny firecracker with a huge heart! This sweet girl came to us as a voluntary surrender after being hit by a car. Her family couldn’t afford the emergency care she needed, and Nutmeg arrived with her right eye out of its socket. Thanks to immediate medical attention and her own incredible spirit, she’s recovered beautifully and hasn’t let her past dim her joyful personality. Nutmeg is energetic, affectionate, and loves giving kisses. She’s friendly with dogs of all sizes and absolutely adores people. She’s a zoomie enthusiast and a fun companion for anyone looking for a lively, loving little dog. She’s crate trained, walks wonderfully on a leash, and is ready for new adventures with a family of her own. We will be cat-testing her this week to learn more about how she feels about feline friends. If you're looking for a spirited, affectionate companion who brings sunshine everywhere she goes, Nutmeg might be your perfect match! Thank you for considering a dog in need! Please go to our website at www.satoheartrescue.org to download our application. The adoption fee is $500.00 which can be paid in cash or check. We look forward to working with you! PLEASE DO NOT send an INQUIRY THROUGH Adopt-A-Pet. Due to the volume of emails we receive, we will not be able to reply.
