Millie's Story

Millie is an energetic, full of beans, loving gal! She is looking for a home that can provide some structure and routine throughout the day. She can be nervous and worried in new environments. Recommend someone home for the first few days to help settle her in.


Millie would love to be allowed indoors and be a part of the family. Previous owner states she was toilet trained. She enjoys relaxing and laying out in the sun to recharge


Recommend no small animals/feathered friends. Has a history of killing chickens and ducks. 


May be nervous walking around busy streets. Has been a bit nervous of trucks and loud unknown noises around shelter. 


Can be unsure of close handling, recommend making all experiences positive by using treats! Once comfortable with her people she may open up and be more comfortable 


Open to the right family. May need to be wary of any running or fast movements! Seems to have a high prey drive so may like to chase.

She loves her toys! Will play Tug, chase after balls and destuff fluffy toys! 


She's a smart girl who would benefit from daily enrichment opportunities. She loves her food and is eager to please. She knows how to sit but would love for her new fam to continue her training. 


Must meet other dogs at time of adoption. Very worried by other dogs at first but seems curious and did offer some play bows but other dogs were not very social. Owner history states that she is dog social. Would do best with a calm social doggie friend and a thorough meet to give her time to get to know and feel comfortable with the other dog.

Not suitable for dog parks or off lead areas as these would be too overwhelming and unpredictable for her.

What should I feed my dog?

Your dog's diet should be based on a high-quality, balanced premium commercial dog food that is suited to their specific life stage (puppy, adolescent, adult, pregnant, senior) and health condition.

The amount of food your dog needs will depend on factors like their size, breed, age, and activity level. However, it’s important not to overfeed or underfeed. Your vet can weigh your dog, assess their body condition score, and offer feeding recommendations.

To prevent bloat, which can be life-threatening, adult dogs should be fed at least twice a day and should not engage in exercise right before or after meals. This is especially important for deep-chested breeds like Boxers and German Shepherds.

Make sure fresh drinking water is always available. Do not give your dog milk as it can lead to gastrointestinal issues.

Should I feed bones to my dog?

Bones offer dogs nutrients and mental stimulation while helping remove tartar from their teeth. However, bones can also break teeth, cause blockages, and carry harmful bacteria. Consider these factors to make an informed decision for your pet and family’s wellbeing.

Dental chews are a good alternative if you wish to provide your pet with entertainment that assists with teeth cleaning. Visit RSPCA World for Pets for a range of quality dental chews for your dog.
