Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
Nutmeg is shy at first, we don't know much about her past but she can be very wary of newcomers, however, she is very food motivated and if you're giving her treats she warms up in no time! Once she trusts you, she is an absolute sweetheart, she is very gentle and kind. She came in as a stray from animal control several weeks ago with her sister Rosemary who looks almost identical to her. Nutmeg walks well on a leash, knows how to sit, and is learning how to lay down. She is very affectionate and loving and will follow you around wherever you go, however she is also content to just lay down next to you in her bed and play with her toys. We want her to find herself her very own person asap so she can get her cute butt out of here!
