My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Weighs around 60 lbs

I am a playful and gorgeous young girl who, unfortunately, ended up in the shelter because my previous owner could no longer care for me. I am so ready to begin a new chapter with a loving family. I enjoy going for walks, love car rides, and I am always up for an adventure! I am crate-trained and have a calm, mellow demeanor, but I also love playing and snuggling.

I am the ideal match for anyone seeking a peaceful, loyal, and easygoing companion. If you are looking for a best friend to join you for all of life’s adventures, and one who can offer the perfect balance with some cuddles on the couch, I might be the perfect match for you!

From one of our dog walking volunteers: `Meet Mila — Adventure-Ready, Fast on Her Feet, and Not THAT Big
When I went to get Mila, she was lying calmly on her bed, minding her own business. The second she noticed me? Up she popped, straight to the door, fully ready to roll. No hesitation. Just “Oh—are we going?`

Mila wasn’t a fan of walking past dogs in other kennels and made her opinions known. Fair enough—hallways in shelters are basically sensory overload. But the moment we got outside? Different dog. She relaxed, chilled out, and even enjoyed some pets like a total sweetheart.

On leash, Mila pulled a bit, but she responded when called and clearly wanted to move forward with purpose. She strikes me as the kind of dog who would happily say yes to pretty much any adventure you offer—walks, jogs, hikes, or spontaneous “let’s see where this trail goes” moments.

I may have called her a “big girl” a few times… and she immediately proved me wrong. The second we started running, Mila took off like she had something to prove—faster than me, full of spunk, and clearly very pleased with herself. Lesson learned.

Turns out Mila doesn’t have extra size—she just has extra layers for winter, and she’s clearly ready to shed them as the seasons change.

Mila is confident, energetic, and full of personality. She’s the kind of dog who just needs the chaos of the shelter behind her so she can show off who she really is—an athletic, affectionate, adventure-loving companion ready to keep you moving and laughing.

If you’re looking for a dog who can match your pace (and probably outrun you), Mila is ready to go.`

More about this shelter

Flagler Humane Society is a 501 (c)(3) corporation and has been in existence since 1980. We are Flagler County's only full service shelter taking in companion animals that have been abandoned, surrendered or in danger. We also are the Animal Control office for all of Flagler County except for Palm Coast. We do intake animals picked up by Palm Coast AC as well as the rest of Flagler County.

Our promise to every animal that comes through our doors is that we will give them the best possible opportunity to find a home through adoption, fostering, or transferring to a rescue group or other Shelter.

We do euthanize animals but only when there is not another option available to us or them. Most of our euthanasias are due to medical problems where it is the humane thing to do to end an animal's suffering or behavioral problems that mean that the animal is not adoptable.
