Meet Milly

Milly is a 2 years, 5 months old female Medium Mixed Breed who weighs 47 pounds.

Milly recently spent the night with one of her volunteer friends. Milly was a perfect houseguest sleeping through the night, having great manners and an overall lovebug.

Milly is a fun, playful pup with lots of personality! She enjoys playtime and has a silly, energetic side that really shines once she's feeling comfortable. She's also done great in dog playgroups and enjoys socializing with other dogs (she is a vocal high-energy player so she would need a 4-legged friend who appreciates that play style).

Milly can be a bit unsure around new people and has some "stranger danger," so she'll do best with adopters who understand that first impressions aren't always her thing. With patience, structure, and positive-reinforcement training, Milly has great potential to build confidence and learn that the world isn't so scary.

She's looking for dog-savvy humans who are willing to invest in training and give her the guidance she needs to succeed. In return, Milly will reward you with playfulness, loyalty, and plenty of happy moments as she grows more confident by your side.

If you are interested in adopting, please come prepared --bring a photo ID, proof of address, and everyone in the home including resident dogs with vaccination history. We are open daily 11-5pm.

Photography tips

Having photos for each of our animals is a priority! It is difficult to get a prospective adopter who is sitting at home surfing the web to get enthusiastic about a new pet that they can’t even see, so we want to get photos on the website as early as possible. Sometimes, though, the photos available are photos of the animals in their prior shelter homes (lots of chain link and concrete) or from a clinic setting (lots of hands wearing blue gloves). We want to replace these with happy photos of the animals as quickly as we can!

The following is some guidance about how to create the best photos

  • No photos of dogs in their runs. Preferably, no photos of dogs indoors at all. We want green grass and blue skies! When outside, think about background objects (trash cans, etc) and frame your photo to keep the distractions to a minimum.
  • Photos you submit do not have to be square, however the photo will appear square (cropped, not stretched) in many places on the website(s). Therefore, make sure that if your photo isn’t square that the animal is centered in the photo so that important details aren’t lost if the photo is shown cropped.
  • We can put three photos on the website for each animal*. At least one of those photos should be a “full-body” photo so that prospective adopters can get an idea of the size and shape of the animal.
  • Preferably, the animal is off-leash for the photo, but if that’s not possible, at least ensure that the leash is slack. Think about the prospective adopter, who has no idea how the animal is being treated, and make sure that the photos do not give them the wrong impression that a particular animal is difficult to control or that they are not being treated gently.
  • Get low! You’ll get a better photo if you’re down at the animal’s level than if you’re shooting down on them from five feet above.
  • It is better to have the sun behind you than behind the animal. Your color fidelity will be better if you can avoid shadows or shaded areas.

* PetFinder supports six photos (or five photos and a video), so we can post additional photos there.
