Motherly Millie has spent most of her life being someone's "Mother" over and over again for no reason except to make money for an insensitive owner. Now, just four months after her last of many litter, she is finally getting the chance to discover what it feels like to simply be someone's beloved dog. Millie is a beautiful, white, 58 pound Standard Poodle who was purchased as a puppy to be a breeding mother. For the past five years, she lived outdoors with her canine companions and raised litter after litter of puppies producing income for the owner. No love shown to Millie...just expectations to "produce and perform" her duty as a mother dog. Her last babies were born just four months ago, so Millie is still very much a girl who has spent her life giving everything she had to caring for others.
Now, her life is changing.
When Millie was surrendered, Critter Cavalry was proud to step in and promised to help her find the kind of home she has never known — a real home where she can come inside, be part of a family, be loved for who she is, and finally have someone take care of her. This sweet girl has so much to offer in return for being a part of. Millie is incredibly affectionate and loves people and children. She has gotten along well with her canine companions and has a gentle, friendly nature that makes it easy to see how much she wants to connect with people. She is the kind of dog who is discovering that attention, affection and companionship can be pretty wonderful things.
Millie has never had the opportunity to learn all the things an indoor dog knows, so her new family will need to give her some patience as she learns about house manners and a new routine. The good news is that she has already shown us something encouraging — while boarding, Millie has kept her kennel clean. With consistency, patience and a predictable routine, we expect her natural Poodle intelligence to help her catch on quickly.
There is something especially touching about watching a dog like Millie experience ordinary things for the first time — a cozy bed, being invited onto the couch, following her person from room to room, learning that she doesn't have to spend her days outside, and realizing that this time, she isn't here to raise puppies. She gets to be the baby now.
Millie has given five years of her life to others. Critter Cavalry would love nothing more than to help her find the family who will make the rest of her life about being cherished, included and loved simply for being Millie.
