What WeRescue Scout knows about Nutmeg
Nutmeg thrives with an active owner who can give her long walks and outdoor adventures to match her young-dog energy, and she'd do great in a multi-dog household. She'll need someone committed to her heartworm treatment recovery and ongoing preventative care, plus patience as she works on house training and crate training.
Good to know
- Currently heartworm-positive; requires treatment and 4-6 weeks of restricted activity during recovery, then lifelong monthly heartworm prevention.
- Not yet tested with cats or children; cats and young kids should be confirmed before adoption.
- Not yet housetrained; still learning crate training.

Lucky Dog Animal Rescue
Foster BasedSince our founding in May 2009, Lucky Dog has rescued more than 34,500 at-risk dogs and cats. We partner with overcrowded and under-resourced shelters to ensure all adoptable animals have a chance at a loving forever home. Our foster-based adoption program is located in the DC metro area. Our foster animals come to adoption events on the weekends where they can meet prospective adopters, but can also meet with prospective adopters outside of events. Our volunteer adoption counsellors help adopters navigate the adoption process and can make suggestions if needed!
Lucky Dog's South Carolina Rescue Campus is located in Florence County and serves as a transport hub where animals receive the veterinary care they need prior to moving into our adoption program. We also provide low cost spay/neuter for our community as well as free vaccine and microchip clinics. Our Rescue Campus opened a dedicated cat building in June 2026 called "Cat Crossing" to compliment "Stopover Station" where our dogs reside while they wait for transport. We also have a Ringworm Treatment Center, ICU, and vet clinic.
