Milly came into care early August 2007. Heavily pregnant and traumatized, having been found with several others abandoned on the Dorchester by pass, what their past experiences had been could only be conjecture. Three days after her arrival, Milly gave birth to five beautiful puppies and though terribly timid and afraid, she allowed me to help her and so we established a bond.

Being in the house with all the other dogs, it became apparent she had been used to being with other dogs – it was the humans she feared. As the puppies grew, so did her confidence but I doubted I would ever find a calm, gentle, quiet person who would have the compassion to take her on. Having been “in dogs” for a long time though, I am used to miracles and along came Bill Morgan. It was almost as if she had been waiting for him and went straight to sit by his feet. After a trial run of a few weeks (for both their sakes) the adoption went through yesterday. Her confidence grows daily and her fear of humans diminishes as the bond between them grows.
