Mila

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 7 years

Location: Faversham, Kent Meet Mila – A Gentle Soul Looking for Her Perfect Match Previously known as Mona during her time in the shelter, Mila is a beautiful mixed-breed girl searching for a very special forever home. She’s currently in kennels in Faversham, Kent, waiting patiently for someone to give her the calm, rural life she thrives in. 🐾 Mila’s Ideal Home Mila is looking for a quiet, adult-only home in a rural area — no cities or busy towns, please. She would love to live with a resident dog of similar size or larger (25kg+) who can help her continue to build confidence. She’s happiest with a dog who’s calm, secure, and doesn’t mind eventually letting her take the lead as she blossoms. 💛 Mila’s Personality • Shy at first, but loving once she trusts you – she’ll seek affection and even gently take your hand in her mouth to lead you like a dance partner. • Protective and alert – Mila is naturally watchful and makes a fantastic guard dog. She’s very defensive of her home and people. • Loves soft toys – she enjoys chewing and playing with plushies when she’s relaxed. • Affectionate and loyal – once bonded, she’s incredibly sweet and will look to you for love and guidance. 📋 Key Information • Breed: Mixed breed • Size: Medium-Large (25kg) • Spayed/Neutered: Yes • Microchipped: Yes • Vaccinations: Up to date • House-trained: Yes • Location: Faversham, Kent (currently in kennels) ⚠️ Important to Know • No children – Mila needs a calm, adult-only household where she feels safe and not overwhelmed. • No urban life – she’s not suited for city or town environments. A quiet, rural home is essential. • Needs a confident resident dog – one who’s happy to be her mentor, and comfortable sharing their space and eventually letting her shine. Mila is a gentle, intelligent, and deeply loyal dog who needs time, patience, and the right canine companion to truly thrive. With the right match, she’ll reward you with love, protection, and unwavering companionship. If you believe you have the peaceful home and confident resident dog Mila needs, please reach out. She’s waiting for someone special. CRITERIA: We adopt our dogs to an area in England within a 3-hour drive of Cobham in Surrey. Any garden must be fully secure and have at least 6 ft boundaries.

About Mila

What life with Mila looks like

Mila is a large adult mixed breed dog waiting at Serbia's Forgotten Paws in Serbia (UK charity).

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Mila, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mila?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Serbia's Forgotten Paws handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Mila on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Mila if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Serbia's Forgotten Paws will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Mila already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Mila isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Serbia's Forgotten Paws early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mila and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
