My story

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

Meet Millie – A Gentle Soul Ready for Her Forever Home 🐾
Millie came into our shelter as a stray on August 12, 2025, after being on the run for some time. Sadly, no one came to reclaim her, but now she’s patiently waiting for her Gotcha Day – the day she finds her forever family.
We estimate Millie is around 2 years old. She came in with a painful ear infection, which has since been treated, and she's now on the mend. She is current on her vaccinations and so ready to begin her next happy chapter of life.
Millie is incredibly sweet but can be shy when meeting new people. She’s looking for a calm, patient home that will give her the time and space she needs to feel safe and secure. She’ll need a gentle routine and someone who understands that trust is something she’ll build slowly—but once she bonds with you, her love is unconditional.
High-value treats are the key to her heart and are great tools for helping her learn the ropes in a new environment. She’s not just looking for a home—she’s looking for a person/family to be her safe place and will help her settle in while feeling loved.
This sweet and pretty girl deserves a family that sees her potential and is willing to give her the time she needs to shine. Could that be you?
If you have a quiet home, a kind heart, and a little extra patience, Millie may be the perfect match for you. Come meet her and see if you’re meant to be her forever.

More about this shelter

We are a non-profit orginization relying on donations. We do have a contract witht the county to provide shelter for strays brought in. We have limited space but try to get our animals back to thier families and if that can not be accomplished we work hard on finding them new homes.
We do what we do because we love animals. We are realistic in in efforts, understand the problem and work towards educating the public on what needs to be done to prevent over population.
