Story
Meet Milly — a 2-year-old Shih Tzu/Yorkie ready for a brand-new life 💕 Milly’s past wasn’t kind to her. She was used for breeding and nearly lost her life during her final litter. Thankfully, she was surrendered so she can finally have the safe, loving future she deserves—no more litters, no more stress, just a chance to be someone’s cherished companion. Now that she’s settling into real home life, Milly has shown herself to be spunky, clever, and deeply loyal. She loves being near her preferred human and usually chooses the floor right beside them or a comfy mat nearby. Puffy or deep beds aren’t her thing. Because a home routine is new to this girl, she is still getting the hang of potty training. She will need consistency and routine in her new home. Once she’s comfortable in her environment, Milly enjoys playing with small plush toys, especially crinkly ones, and will happily entertain herself. She’s also a bit of a watchdog—vocal enough to alert you to deliveries or dogs passing by, but not an excessive barker. Milly is a messy eater, leaving adorable little kibble crumbs behind, and she’ll quietly observe during human mealtimes without begging. When it comes to treats, small, soft treats are her favorite. She is crate trained and views her crate as a safe space. Milly enjoys walks, though she does pull on leash and may do best with a harness. Outside, she is in full “nose-to-the-ground, let’s explore” mode, and she takes care of her business quickly. She zooms up stairs but is hesitant with wooden stairs going down. Milly is very affectionate with people—kisses included—but isn’t currently a fan of cats. Quick and bunny-like, she tends to chase and vocalize at them, though with patience and training she may improve since she’s such a smart girl. Milly is ready to leave her past behind and start her next chapter with someone who will love her for the joyful, quirky little companion she is. 💗 ----------------------------------------- If you’re interested in adopting, please apply online at mscrescue.org/adopt.
