MEET OUR ADOPTABLE DOGS

miltonanimalshelter@gmail.com 1-year-old spayed female, mixed breed

Lucy was found as a stray, emaciated and severely anemic. 

Since then, she's nearly doubled her weight and her bloodwork has improved dramatically.

Lucy loves people, and lights up with everyone she meets at the shelter. 

The shelter is a controlled, safe environment where we set our animals up for success, and every positive experience builds Lucy's trust and confidence.

She can be nervous around other dogs, which comes from fear rather than aggression. We're working on this with supervised walks alongside her shelter buddy Ralphie, and recommend a good basic obedience or reactive dog class to continue that progress once she's adopted, we're happy to point you toward one.

10-month-old mixed breed

Angus was found in mid-July with a horrific leg injury, emaciated and severely infected. 

It was touch and go for a few days, but the team at Canton Veterinary Hospital stepped up and saved his life. 

He's still healing physically but is already fast on three legs, his anemia is resolving, and he's gained 8 pounds so far, though at 30 pounds he still has up to 10 more to gain as he catches up and grows.

Angus is still mastering housebreaking, so does well on a set schedule throughout the day, and he's in that mischievous teenage stage. 

Because he was so sick when he arrived, he hasn't yet been tested with other animals. 

Having gone without, he still thinks food might not be available, so he'll eat anything edible, and non-edible, given the chance.

Angus needs a patient family willing to give him the chance to become the dog he was always meant to be. 

We don't want anyone to adopt him out of pity, we want them to know there will be challenges along the way, but that sticking with him means being rewarded with real love and loyalty.
