Our very special, Millie 🩷
In early fall, Millie was dumped in the woods in the same neighborhood that mama Buttercup was, most likely by a breeder and very unsocialized. Buttercup easily came up to people, but Millie was the opposite and hid in the woods 😔
For 2+ months, experienced dog trappers tried to catch Millie and she just evaded everything. She survived both hurricanes alone in the woods and without any shelter 💔 Thankfully, she eventually got stuck in someone’s yard and was able to be captured in November - it was a miracle! This poor girl was full of fleas, ticks and heartworm positive. She has now been in a foster home for 5 months, was spayed and completed heartworm treatment! ❤️🩹
Millie LOVES dogs and can’t spend one minute without them. You can always find her glued to another dog or blending into a pack hoping that she’s invisible to humans. There isn’t one single dog that Millie wouldn’t like and she would actually love doggy daycare. She is very playful with other dogs and is truly a wonderful girl who is house trained, crate trained, very food motivated, very submissive and would never do a thing wrong. In that way, she’s a normal Golden, just a major flight risk. If she slips out, she probably won’t be caught.
So, we are looking for a savvy home.
Basic criteria:
✔️ Must have at least one playful dog of similar size, but the more the merrier!
✔️ She would likely be cat friendly
✔️ Must have a securely fenced yard
✔️ No children or frequently visiting kids
Most important criteria:
✔️ Someone who NEVER lets their dog off leash, never uses retractable leashes and whose dog never slips out the front door. We need a paranoid helicopter parent about dog security and we can’t sugar coat that. Someone who really truly gets it. We will keep her safe until we find that 🩷
If you feel that you could be a potential forever home for her, please complete an application and email us with a little more about you at info@love4pawsfl.org. Millie is in Odessa (Tampa) and her adoption fee is $400. She is about 55lbs, 2 years old, spayed, vaccinated and microchipped.

It breaks our hearts that she is so scared, but we hope that she will blossom one day! 🌸
