Please read the bio in its ENTIRETY. If you meet the requirements, please send an email to gateway4paws@gmail.com for additional information. Applications & FAQ regarding adoption can be found on our website.
Since we are 100% foster-based rescue, only approved applications will be reviewed and/or contacted. We do not allow shipping & do not transport. You must live within 350 miles from Maryville, IL & able to drive there for a meet & greet. Mileage requirements may be lifted for Cavalier experienced homes.
Millicent came into our rescue back in February. She settled into her foster home & everything was going well, mostly. Her foster mom was trying hard to help Millicent stick to her diet plan, but it just wasn't going the way it should. Then we got word that maybe there was a reason she wasn't losing weight.
We took her in for an x-ray. Sure enough, she smuggled in a belly full of puppies! Off to the maternity ward she went. A nice clean area was set up for her, she settled in, and that diet was put aside!
The puppies are now 12 weeks old, fully weaned & Millicent has been a mom for the very last time.
Millicent is ready to find her own family now. We are looking for a home that will give her a chance to start learning what it means to be a family member & be a part of daily activities. Millicent very much wants to socialize & have fun. She doesn't know exactly how to do this, but she is being very brave & learning quickly.
Millicent is not very good on a leash yet. She might be receptive to it at a later date, once her family has developed a relationship with her. Knowing that she won't leash walk right now, we must insist on a physically secure fence for her, as she will need to immediately continue her outside potty routine. The only way to be successful with this is to have a secure contained area.
Speaking of a physically fenced yard. Millicent is part monkey. Yup, she can & will, climb fences. A chain link fence is simply a jungle gym waiting to be played on. Of course, Millicent should never be left unattended in the yard, anyway. She doesn't do it to escape, she just enjoys the challenge. And we think she likes to show off.
Millicent is doing very well with her potty-training routine as long as she is taken out on a regular basis. It is important to note that anytime there is a change in environment or schedule, you must give the dog a chance to be successful. A new routine that employs consistency & praise will help set them up for success.
She quickly took up with her foster mom & is comfortable being around her during normal household activities. She is doing well with quiet well-behaved children, adults, men, women, & all her foster canine siblings. She is very much enjoying making friends.
Please let us know if you are ready for an adventurous sidekick, who also really enjoys naps! You can send us an email at Gateway4paws@gmail.com
