About Milly 🐶Malt x Shih x Pom❤️ 7yo (On Trial 20/3/21)
Milly is a Maltese x Shih Tzu x Pomeranian, 7 year old girl. She is just divine ❤️. She is very sweet and loving and needs to be with you, and will sit close with you on the lounge. She is playful and healthy.
She has basic training and will sit when asked. She says "please" by giving you her paw, and "thank you" by giving you a kiss on the hand. 🖐
She loves to go in the car 🚗, loves walking and always gets excited when you get her harness or your car keys. She is not suitable to be let off the lead but you can use an extra long lead to let her explore and have a run around.
Milly likes to play chase round the house or garden and when you can't catch her, she jumps on her bed, then you can play again.😄
She isn't a nuisance barker but she will let you know if there is any one around and barks if any one comes to your door. She enjoys having a grassy yard to explore so she's not suited to apartment or villa living or a busy area with lots of people and dogs going past.
She tolerates other small dogs but prefers to be an only dog. She doesn't enjoy meeting random dogs on the street or at the dog park but she can be friends with dogs that she lives with or that visit regularly. She doesn't like cats. She isn't too keen on small children when they cry or scream.
Milly is very much an inside girl and needs to be welcome inside, on your lap, and to sleep in your bedroom. She is housetrained and can use a doggie door. She is fine left at home alone (inside) and will just stay in her bed until you return and is super happy to see you when you return.
She can be nervous at times and is scared by thunder, loud bangs and wind. She has to be reassured when going to vets and grooming as she shakes.
She loves lots of toys, especially puzzle toys, fluffy squeaky toys, and her Snuffle Mat; but she doesn't like balls.
She has a gorgeous, soft, low-shedding coat which needs regular brushing (every few days depending on length), bathing (every few weeks) and professional clipping (every 6 weeks which will cost approximately $65).
Milly is used to living with a retired couple so she isn't suitable to a busy household with children or frequent strangers visiting.
Milly has always been very well cared for and loved. She was adopted from Dog Rescue Newcastle but now her guardians are moving back to England so they are heartbroken 💔 to have to rehome her. They will give Milly's new family all of her toys, beds, coats, etc.
Milly's birthday is the 12th of October 2013. She is an active and healthy little girl. Small dogs like her typically live to age 15 or 16 so she still has half of her life to enjoy in her new home.
We are looking for a forever home for Milly where there is someone home most of the time, who will make her a big part of their lives; to love her, play with her, take her for a daily walk, and let her sit on their lap. 🌺
👉 👉 👉 NOTE: Milly is still living with her family while we find her a new home. She is in Edenhope VICTORIA on the SOUTH AUSTRALIA border. This is 4.5 hours drive from Melbourne and 4 hours from Adelaide. Milly is available for adoption to VIC, SA, NSW and ACT 👈👈👈
