Meet Millie

PLEASE READ THE WHOLE DESCRIPTION BEFORE YOU APPLYMeet Millie, a Golden Retriever we rescued from a puppy mill. Millie is available for adoption with a 2-week trial.  Millie is unsocialized with many issues.   Adopter must live within 75 miles of Crown Point , Indiana. We will bring her to your home for a meet and greetMillie was born Sept 25, 2022. She weighs 50 lbs. She is a gentle, sweet, and lovable soul. Millie is in a foster home. She has gone from being terrified of people to loving everyone at her foster home. She will dance around for treats and play with other dogs all day in her foster home. However, you will not see the happy side of Millie for a few weeks. She reverts to being afraid in new surroundings and with new people. The trusting process will start all over again.  She needs a special home.  She will cower down when someone approaches her she doesn't know. She will lie in a corner with her head down at first. She will not come to you. She will need to adjust on her own time   She is very treat-motivated, although in the first few weeks she would not take any treats from us. She was too scared. She does not walk on a leash well, and she becomes anxious. SHE MUST HAVE A SECURE FENCED-IN BACK YARD She gets along great with other dogs. Another friendly and playful dog would help to build her confidence. She needs an adult in the family who is home during the day, no young children under 10 years of age, although she loves all people and kids, she is skittish.   She sleeps in the bedroom at night on the floor When she first came here, she had an open door crate in the family room, which was her safe place. Mille will need to be crated when you leave,  she will chew up things and counter surf. This is one of the reasons that she needs a home where the adopter is home during the day. She does not like to be crated for long. Crating and being left alone creates her anxiety.  Millie will need time and patience for her to come around. She needs a special home. Thankfully, treats are the way to her heart, but not at first.  She is housetrained, however, the foster home does have a pet door, so she goes outside as she pleases.Millie is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and is microchipped. She is a sweet, gentle, unsocialized girl who came from a bad puppy mill and needs a lot of patience before she will trust you.  We are looking for the right home. Only apply if you are serious and meet our adoption criteria. You must work out of your home, be a homemaker, or be retired. There may be times you will need to carry her inside when she is outside. Whomever adopts her must be physically able to handle an anxious and scared dog. Can you carry a 50lb dog if she lies down on you and won't walk?   DO NOT APPLY UNLESS YOU MEET THE ABOVE CRITERIA
