Meet Amelia “Millie” — a precious puppy mill survivor learning how wonderful life can be
Amelia is a rescued puppy mill momma who is now discovering what it truly means to be loved. Despite her past, she has the sweetest heart and a gentle, affectionate nature that shines brighter every day. She adores her people and happily shows her appreciation with kisses, tail wags, and quiet companionship.
This lovely girl finds joy in the simple comforts she was once denied—delicious meals, tasty treats, her favorite Nylabones, and sinking into big fluffy blankets or her cozy heated dog bed. She enjoys sleeping close to her people but is also comfortable settling into a kennel when needed. When she heads outside, her playful side appears in the form of adorable little hops and zoomies that look like a tiny pygmy goat bouncing with happiness.
Amelia has a low-to-moderate energy level and is the perfect mix of playful and laid-back. She enjoys short bursts of activity but is just as content napping beside her people. She does well with her potty routine when kept on a schedule, understanding that there will always be a transition period as she adjusts to a new home.
As a mill survivor, Millie is still building confidence in the world around her. She is cautious with quick movements and is continuing to learn leash skills at her own pace. A securely fenced yard is ideal for her at this time, not because she’s a flight risk, but to help her feel safe while she gains confidence.
Amelia gets along well with other dogs but does not require a canine companion—she’s happy being independent and soaking up human affection. Her ideal home will be patient, attentive, and full of love, allowing her to continue her journey from survivor to cherished family member.
Amelia has already come so far, and with the right home, her best days are truly ahead of her. If you’re ready to give a deserving survivor the life she’s always deserved, Millie is ready to give her whole heart in return.
Amelia's adoption donation is $500, and she is being fostered in Central Ohio. She is fully vetted and ready for her forever home — she has been spayed, microchipped, and is up to date on her vaccines, including rabies, distemper/parvo, bivalent canine influenza, and Bordetella. Amelia has tested negative for heartworm and has been started on heartworm and flea/tick prevention, and she has also had a dental cleaning.
PLEASE NOTE: If you are viewing this biography on a website other than the Ohio Fuzzy Pawz website like Petfinder, Adopt-a-Pet, or another search engine (the OFP website is www.ohiofuzzypawz.com), not all information transfers to partner websites in some instances. If you go to the individual webpage of our dogs , you will be able to get more information each dog.
Visual breed identification in dogs can be unreliable so, in many cases, we are only guessing at the predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.
The adoption process has several steps involved. Please review prior to submitting an application. Our adoption process is detailed here: http://www.ohiofuzzypawz.com/info/adoption
Our volunteers work very diligently to process each application and we try to ensure that we are making the best match possible for each dog. We do not schedule meetings with dogs until an application has been approved. It can take up to a few weeks to process an application or as little time as a few days, from the time you submit an application, please be prepared to adopt as we cannot hold dogs.
Some dogs may have special requirements (for example, medications, a fence) -- if you apply for a dog, please be sure to read over the biography completely to see if there are any special needs and if you're home would be suitable. If we indicate on the dog's biography that a fence is required, this means your home must have a physical fence. Other dogs may require a "strong vet reference" which indicates that we are looking for a home that has a documented history of veterinary care with previous pets.
The first step in our process is to submit an online adoption application at www.ohiofuzzypawz.com/forms. The application MUST include the personal references and veterinary, grooming, and landlord references (if applicable) and their respective contact information. If you do not include the references and the contact information, your application will be delayed as it CANNOT be processed. Once the references have been successfully completed, a home visit is then scheduled when a rescue representative can meet all members of the family or residents of the home. No application is approved prior to the home visit being done. At that point, the Directors will discuss any and all applications on a foster dog and make a selection--in many cases, there are multiple applications for each dog, so please be understanding that our only priority is the successful placement of each of our foster dogs.
We do adopt out of state to outstanding applicants, however, our process requires a home visit, so out of state adoptions can take longer. We do not ship our dogs, adopters should be prepared to pick up the dog in Central Ohio.
