Millie

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 4 months

Millie is a very special girl, and that is exactly why we chose her to represent an extraordinary milestone for Dogsnhomes Rescue: our 1,000th dog rescued. We could easily have chosen another irresistible puppy, but Millie represents the very heart of rescue. At four years young, she has already experienced more rejection and uncertainty than any dog should. When she no longer fitted into her first owners’ lives, she was discarded and left to survive alone on the streets. But street life is no place for such a gentle, people-loving little girl. Despite everything she has been through, Millie remains incredibly affectionate and greets everyone she meets with warmth and love. She has not allowed her difficult past to change her beautiful nature, and she is happiest when she is close to people and receiving the kindness she has always deserved. There will be many ordinary parts of home life that are completely new to Millie. Vacuum cleaners, large televisions and other everyday household sights and sounds may seem strange at first. Her adopters will need to introduce her gently to these new experiences and give her the time, patience and reassurance she needs to understand that she is finally safe. Millie may not be a puppy, (although she’s the size of a puppy) but that is precisely what makes her such a fitting 1,000th rescue. She embodies everything rescue is about: giving a forgotten dog a second chance, helping her leave survival behind and showing her what it truly means to belong. We are looking for a loving, patient home where Millie will never again be treated as disposable. In return, her adopters will gain a devoted, affectionate companion who has been waiting far too long for someone to choose her forever. Millie will arrive fully vaccinated and with comprehensive health checks, including: Most of our dogs have been found abandoned as young pups, discarded as unwanted litters, as is often the case in Portugal where neutering is not as common as in the UK. After rescue, all of our pups spend time in private shelters and foster homes, meaning they arrive happy, healthy and well socialised. UK Registered Charity Number 1183775

About Millie

What life with Millie looks like

Millie is a large puppy/kitten mixed breed dog waiting at Dogs N Homes Rescue in London.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇬🇧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. Dogs N Homes Rescue 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 — Dogs N Homes Rescue 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 Dogs N Homes Rescue 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.
