Milly – 10 month old female Bearded Collie Cross

Milly 10 month old is possibly Bearded Collie, Pointer cross Beagle being fostered in Gloucestershire. This lovely girl started her life in Surrey brought as a puppy for a family – I think having got to know Milly and the state of the blanket she came with that stunk of wee,dirty collar and was so dirty she has been badly neglected, very shut down and quiet for such a young dog we do not know what has happened, they sold her on the free ads to the first family that would give them £100 and then this family realised when they went to see her that is was a mistake with 4 children and a young Collie but did not want to leave her so they took her – that is how she came into rescue.

She is too quiet at the moment but has been around a lot of different dogs and is very good with them I think as we have a couple of young dogs in at that moment she was a bit overwhelmed plus it was another move in the same week, she has gone into a quieter foster home with two small dogs and is doing fine. She appears to be house trained, quiet and settles well at night. She is very sweet and loving once she knows you but can be a bit frightened to begin with – her foster home has taken it very slow with her but we feel she has been pulled around and possibly hit. She also had marks on her face.

When she is fed with the other dogs she can be quite guardy so is fed separately, playing with toys etc she is not possessive at all but can get a bit funny over sticks. I think this gentle dogs just needs a kind experienced home she is still really only a baby and needs consistently and training – I think has she progressive with us she will improve and we will see a different Milly has the days go on.

I think a dog like Milly would probably benefit from an experienced home with or without another dog, someone who has had an abused or neglected dog, she has a lot of good qualities including how she is with lots of new dogs, she just need that experienced hand to guide her through to adulthood.

We are hoping as she progresses we can change this profile but this is where we are abouts at the moment.

Milly will be spayed, vaccinated, chipped before she leaves us if you think you could be the right home for our lovely girl please email us .
