About Milly Isherwood
TO APPLY FOR ADOPTION PLEASE SEND IN APPLICATION FORM AVAILABLE BELOW:
https://www.victoriandogrescue.org.au/about-vicdrg/adoption-and-foster-application-forms.html
Victorian Dog Rescue has a six-week full refund policy and a lifetime takeback guarantee that includes a full refund for the pet.
Milly needs someone to love and to be loved.
Milly is an exceptionally, shy girl and needs a quiet home, where her people will allow her time to settle and adjust, without expectation of her. When the time is right, she needs a family who will help her come out of herself, help her build confidence and an understanding that the world is a good place to be.
Milly came to us with many health issues. She lost her kittens and nurtured another litter before joining us and was quite traumatised. She nearly died initially and spent weeks boarding at a specialist health centre.
Whilst in our care, Milly has shown some interest in a young, male, cat and we feel a quiet, gentle, male, feline may be good for her. Her ideal home will be where someone is home a lot of the time, allowing her to familiarise to her new surroundings and gradually build trust. She is not suited to a family with children. She is litter trained.
Update: It has been slow but Milly has made progress. She will play with her toys, enjoys grooming herself and whereas she used to sleep in her cat cave bed, she now sleeps in a flat cat bed on the lounge. Milly looks more relaxed these days and definitely has come out of her shell however she is still very nervous and hides except for meals when her carer is home.
It is a big challenge to help a traumatised cat heal and will require giving Milly the time, space and safe environment she needs. Each seemingly small step of progress is really a huge step in the improvement of Milly's quality of life. Milly will need a nurturing, patient person. Is that you? Please fill in the application form.

Adoption details
We are a community fostercare network, not a shelter, and our dogs and cats are cared for in private homes. Note that we are very careful where we rehome our dogs and cats and we have an intensive process. If you want a quick turnaround we are not the group for you. If you seem like a good match for the dog of your choice we will organise a telephone chat, a meet and greet and a property check. We offer free assistance for six weeks for any issues, a lifetime takeback policy with full refund of the adoption fee, and will always be available to offer advice.
We care for our dogs and cats and we want you to as well. We know that genuine applicants have no trouble with this process and understand that if we refuse you a dog or cat, it is because you are not the best match for that pet.
Our commitment to the dogs and cats in our care is total and we treat each one as if we are passing on a family pet. This may not suit you so we point out that there are equally great dogs and cats available in pounds, shelters and with other rescue groups.
If you are still interested, please download an application form from our website:

Please note that we do not take/make telephone calls prior to receiving an application.
Commonly asked questions and their answers are provided when you email us. Unfortunately we usually will not have time to reply to enquiries in more detail and will give priority to completed applications over enquiries. Priority will also be given to typed applications which are easier for us to read and to copy relevant parts.
We look forward to receiving your application.
