Nutmeg will add just the right amount of spice to your life NUTMEG NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Nutmeg Best Guess for Breed: Shepherd Mix Best Guess for Age: 2 years as of May 2026 SEX: female Approximate Weight: 55 lbs as of 5/19/26 Gets Along With: Other dogs!! We haven't seen them with cats or kids but we are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters! Currently Living at: South Carolina shelter - needs a foster or forever home in the DC area to get up here! Nutmeg is Looking For: Her forever home! This beautiful brindle lady is looking for her own humans to trot alongside on long sniffy walks and adventures to burn all that awesome young-dog energy. Also on her wish list: plenty of ear scritches, quality kibble, a cushy dog bed, and some new pup pals to play with! But above all, she wants to know where she belongs, to be under her own roof, safe and loved. In exchange, she promises adoring gazes and loyal companionship for all her days. What do you say? Can you see Nutmeg by your side? What My Foster Says About Me: We will update once she has spent time in foster care. Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training. Heartworm Information: Nutmeg is a truly Lucky Dog. She tested positive for heartworms, but landed in a place where heartworm treatment is provided! Heartworm is not contagious to people or other pets, but results from mosquito bites. Heartworm, if left untreated, is life threatening, but after treatment, dogs that were heartworm positive should suffer no significant long-term effects so long as they are kept on a monthly heartworm preventative. Heartworm dogs can resume full active and normal lives, but need to be kept calm for 4-6 weeks after treatment. We are happy to discuss where in the treatment process this Lucky Dog is in right now! Just email the adoption coordinator - the address is at lower left! TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for this dog is $475, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations, spay/neuter, and heartworm treatment.

Breed overview
Overview:
A mongrel, mutt, or mixed-breed dog, is a dog that is not the result of breeding within an existing breed or to modify or create a breed and belongs to no breed. In the United States, the term "mixed-breed" is a favored synonym over "mongrel" among many who wish to avoid negative connotations associated with the latter term. The implication that such dogs must be a mix of defined breeds may stem from an inverted understanding of the origins of dog breeds. Pure breeds have been, for the most part, artificially created from random-bred populations by human selective breeding with the purpose of enhancing desired physical, behavioral, or temperamental characteristics. Dogs that are not purebred are not necessarily a mix of such defined breeds. Therefore, among experts and fans of such dogs, "Mongrel" is still the preferred term.
