Story
HIGHLIGHTS: -Requires another confident dog established in home- Meet Scrappy – A Gentle Soul Looking for Trust and Love Scrappy is a 6-year-old Shih Tzu weighing 16.4 pounds, with a tender heart that just needs a little time and patience to shine. He’s a bit skittish around people right now and can be nervous when being picked up, but beneath that caution is a dog who wants to feel safe and loved. In group, Scrappy does wonderfully — he gets along well with other dogs and seems most comfortable when he’s around calm canine friends. With their help (and yours!), he’s learning that people can be kind and gentle. Scrappy would do best in a quiet, patient home with someone who understands shy dogs and can give him the time he needs to build trust. With love and consistency, Scrappy is sure to blossom into a sweet and loyal companion. ---------- Before being rescued, many of our dogs had limited socialization, so they may need some 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!

Story
Tamarack (6 yrs. 16 lbs.) is a Shih Tzu with a big personality and an even bigger heart. Friendly, playful, and full of life, Tamarack lights up around other dogs and is always ready for a game or a romp in the yard. He’s especially happy when he’s around canine companions who match his enthusiasm—or help ground it. While Tamarack is a sweetheart through and through, he does show some high-energy behaviors in the rescue environment that make him stand out from the crowd. He’s spirited, expressive, and always on the go—so he’s looking for a home that understands his zest for life and can offer structure, patience, and support. Tamarack is still unsure about handling and will need a patient home willing to work with him at a slow, respectful pace as he continues to build trust. He will also benefit from ongoing socialization around people to help him feel more confident in new situations. The good news is that Tamarack is food motivated, which makes positive reinforcement training a great tool for helping him succeed. He also walks on leash and enjoys getting out and about. Tamarack requires a confident, established dog in the home to help guide him and model calmer behavior. He thrives with routine, companionship, and a family who can appreciate his playful nature while gently helping him stay balanced. If you have a solid pack leader (with four legs), a patient heart, and a willingness to help a dog grow at his own pace, Tamarack could be your perfect match. ------ Before being rescued, many of our dogs had limited socialization, so they may need some time to adjust to life as a family pet.

Torres is an adorable four-year-old, 8 lb. Shih Tzu who is curious and friendly, always eager to explore her surroundings and make new connections at her own pace.

Andre is a 10 lb Japanese Chin with a shy but curious personality. He may take a little time to feel comfortable in new environments, but with patience and gentle encouragement, his curiosity begins to emerge. Andre does best when he’s allowed to move at his own pace and given the space he needs to build trust. He is looking for a patient adopter who can provide a calm, relaxing home where he can feel safe and secure.
