Adopt Millie

Cavapoo · Female · Adult · 7 years

Little Millie is looking for a quiet home with a secure garden where she can have company most of the time. Her new owner will need to have patience as Millie needs some training support and might have separation anxiety. Millie is excited to greet people to the home, will stand with her paws up as she gets very happy, but she is always gentle. She loves to be cuddled and petted, including by children if they are also gentle. Millie is used to going out to pubs and cafes, she loves the attention and being fussed over by anyone. Millie travels well in the car. She does not seem to be a grazer and is happy with her set breakfast and dinner. Millie is fine going to the groomers and vets. She is happy to be examined/brushed etc at home and will even let you trim her paws. Millie will need help with house training in her new home, a refresher might be needed due to the changes she is going through. Millie can bark at unfamiliar sounds. On walks, Millie wears a harness (she has escaped from a collar before). She can be frightened of other dogs depending on their size and how they approach her. She can pull with a harness and is so keen she will walk along on her back paws, and she wants to weave side to side constantly. She has no recall and when people approach her, she backs off, she appears to be very nervous to be touched sometimes. Millie loves playing, she is bright and could learn new tricks. Millie might be best suited to a single person or even a couple as she likes the reassurance of having someone close by. She can be very vocal and finds it hard to settle during the day unless in your arms. © 2025 Dog Aid Scotland (SCIO Charity No. SC001918) Web Design by Techincal Services Scotland. Need a website?

About Millie

What life with Millie looks like

Millie is a adult cavapoo dog waiting at Dog Aid Society of Scotland in United Kingdom.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. 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 Millie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Millie?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dog Aid Society of Scotland handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Millie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Millie if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dog Aid Society of Scotland 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 Millie 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 Millie 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 Dog Aid Society of Scotland early rather than rehoming privately; they know Millie 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.
