This 8-year-old black and tan long- haired pure dachshund came to Little Paws as a surrender, and she is just beginning to discover what life as a cherished family dog looks like. At 9 lbs of soft, silky fluff, Nutmeg is a gentle soul with a playful spirit waiting to come out. She takes her time with new people and new situations, but once she decides you are her people, she is wonderfully sweet. Environment Nutmeg is still learning the ropes of housetraining and will need patience and a consistent routine. She has never been on a leash before, so walks will be a whole new adventure for her, one she will need to take at her own pace with a gentle, encouraging hand. A securely fenced yard will give her a safe space to explore and build her confidence. She goes into her crate on her own during the day to nap, which is a lovely sign of how settled she is in her space. She is calm and quiet indoors and seems to do fine when left with other dogs around. She did well being picked up and transported to her foster home, which bodes well for car travel. Pets & People Nutmeg is shy and skittish at first with new people, but she opens up into a warm, sweet companion once she feels safe. She does well with the other dogs in her foster home, though she has not yet been around large dogs, so introductions with bigger breeds should be done thoughtfully. She is gentle with treats and loves her food. Her compatibility with cats is unknown and would need to be assessed. Location Nutmeg is available for adoption from Cumming, GA.
