Hello everyone…Millie here. I’m not exactly sure where I have been…but I’m so glad I am here now. It appears that I was once used for making puppies. It seems clear that life was not for me, and I made a break for it, finding comfort in the company of other runaway dogs and even coyotes (who probably showed me more kindness than the place I came from.) Life on the run was hard, but so was trusting people based on my past experience. I was captured, sent to the shelter, and adopted but my people never figured out how to break through to me, so they asked Homeward Bound to help. I have been living with a wonderful foster; she is patient and loving and has a great dog who has become my teacher and friend. Life as a beloved dog is so different. I love to sunbathe, go for long walks, and curl up on the couch using my dog friend as my pillow! I am seven years old and a bit sugar-faced, but that’s well-earned character. It has nothing to do with my energy! There are things I still need to work on, and other things that still spook me. But I am ready to finish that journey in my forever home. I’m looking for a person like my foster who is loving and patient, and a calm home with another dog who likes to share. I’m not sure about cats, but I think I might like older kids who can understand what I have been through and will vow to keep me safe. I’m ready to trust and will gladly open my heart and offer my tummy if we are a love match!
