Meet Nutmeg
Meet Barney & Nutmeg!
This father/ daughter duo gave our volunteers a run for their money when they were spotted as strays on Thanksgiving week, darting across Gratiot and playing frogger for days while we worked tirelessly to secure them and bring them to safety
Nutmeg was easy to catch and was secured immediately but Barney.. he took days and a lot of out of the box ideas to rescue him. Nutmeg waited patiently and was so extremely shut down at the shelter for 5 long days while our team worked on their creativity skills to capture Mr. Barney. She didn't pick up her head or move from the corner of her kennel once As soon as Barney was secured- he immediately remembered that he loves everyone and has really never looked back! During the 5 days he was on the run without her he traveled miles towards our shelter and we think he was tracking her Nutmeg blossomed into a real puppy almost instantaneously once her boy was back around and it was truly the sweetest thing to watch her come out of her shell all because Barney was back by her side. As soon as they were reunited at our shelter together they started adapting to the good life very well!
They're searching for a forever home together, preferably someone who has either dog experience (or is a quick and willing learner!), or someone with the patience of a saint, and a huge heart to love and adore their huge personalities.
Barney is 3-5 years old and is the proud protector and brave leader of the two. He loves everyone and is the happiest, sweetest guy with a very charming demeanor. Nutmeg is about 1 year old and is the one who keeps them young, she's a very loyal, playful and spunky girl who is shy at first with new people but once she bonds to you- you're her friend for life She's the smart one of the pair and loves to use her brain to learn new tricks. They love to play with toys, one another, and go for walks.
It is our belief that Barney and Nutmeg have never lived in a home before.. while they've come SO far from the day we met them, they have sooo much to learn and while we adore their silly shenanigans at the shelter everyday, there's really only so much we can do for them here to get them ready for real life. One of our volunteers takes them home on sleepovers to practice with them but they would really benefit from a foster or foster to adopt home to continue working with them on how to be spoiled house dogs
They most likely need a home as the only pets and aren't quite house hippo ready but come with lifelong training and we know finding them a home may be hard, so we are going to start early
Barney is heartworm positive and will need to go through a rough treatment for that, a home would be so much more ideal for him to recover in than our shelter. Nutmeg is working with a behaviorist and trainers on her fearful side and flourishing everyday.
Think you could be the one for our special pair of house coyotes ?! Apply on our website to meet them!
