Story
See description Meet 3 year old Seraphina! Her name means "heavenly winged angel" and "fiery one," and she is truly both. This sweet, delicate girl has an adorable face, but she's also full of energy and still has plenty of puppy-like spunk! She loves to have another puppy to play with.  At 11 pounds, she’s a Shih Tzu mix who’s spayed, up to date on her vaccinations, and microchipped. Seraphina was found as a stray and brought to the shelter, where no one claimed her. It’s clear she had recently had puppies, and it seems she was used for breeding before being abandoned. Because of her past, she can be nervous around new people, but with patience, she quickly warms up and becomes an affectionate, playful, and loving companion. Seraphina is mostly potty trained, though occasional accidents still happen. She needs a home where someone is around often to work with her, help her continue socializing, and let her enjoy outdoor adventures and walks. Given her tiny size and skittish nature, we are seeking a recently retired couple or a family with older, gentle children who can respect her boundaries. Fast movements tend to startle her. Her adoption fee is $300. we are offering a discount if we can find someone to adopt her with Ducky. Ducky is also posted on our website. January 4, 2025, 12:03 pm

Story
Highlights:needs another more confident dog already established in the homeMeet Chloe, a dainty 10.8-pound Shih Tzu with a nervous but gentle demeanor. Chloe isn’t quite ready to seek out human attention just yet, and sudden movements can make her uneasy. While she’s friendly at heart, she’s a bit of a challenge to catch in the yard as she enjoys her independence.Chloe is very calm and composed around other dogs, finding comfort in their presence. She’s starting to show a fondness for chicken treats, which will be a helpful tool as she continues to build trust and confidence. When Chloe is happy, she does the sweetest little prance that is sure to bring a smile to anyone’s face.This lovely girl allows petting once she feels safe, but she’ll need time and patience to fully come out of her shell. Chloe is looking for a calm and understanding home where she can grow and thrive at her own pace. Could she be the one to add a little prance to your life?Before being rescued, many of our dogs have had limited socialization, so they may need a bit of time to adjust to life as a family pet. Older kids are often a great fit for our dogs, and homes with younger children will be considered based on each dog`s individual needs. Skills like house training and leash walking may take a little extra patience and practice. However, with understanding and a gentle hand, most of these dogs adapt quite quickly. Being a part of their rehabilitation is a truly rewarding experience. To learn more about mill dogs and start the adoption process, visit our website!

Highlights:needs another confident dog already established in the homeMeet Angel Eyes, a 13.6-pound Shih Tzu with a curious and inquisitive nature. While she doesn’t approach humans for pets just yet, her love for other dogs is undeniable. She finds comfort and companionship with her furry friends and would likely thrive in a home with another confident dog to help guide her. At night, you can often find her snuggled up with her kennel mates—a sight that’s as heartwarming as it is adorable.Angel Eyes is highly treat motivated, and her love for chicken is a great way to build trust with her. Though she’s still nervous about being picked up, she’s making strides in learning that humans can be safe and kind.This sweet girl is looking for a patient and understanding family to help her continue her journey toward confidence. Could Angel Eyes be the perfect addition to your home?-----Prior to being rescued, many of our dogs have experienced minimal socialization. As a result, there is often an adjustment period when learning about life as a family pet. We typically do not adopt to homes with young children. Homes with older children will be considered on an individual basis. Common skills such as house training and leash walking will often take a little extra time. Patience, understanding and a gentle hand are a must. The great news is, most of these dogs come around rather quickly and being a part of their rehabilitation is an extremely rewarding experience.
