Millie Mixed Breed Madison, WI

Meet Millie! Millie is about 3-years-old and 35-pounds. She was found severely malnourished in rural Mississippi. Millie is a very happy dog! She is crate and leash-trained. She gets along well with other dogs and is pretty quiet & respectful. She would love to sleep in a bed all day if you let her!

On 10/9/19, Millie unfortunately tested positive for heartworm disease. She got this by being bitten by an infected mosquito. She is not contagious to other dogs (but all dogs should be on heartworm prevention monthly, year-round to prevent infection/reinfection). Underdog has started Millie on treatment for heartworm, and with proper after-care, she will fully recover. Her adopter will simply need to bring Millie to scheduled treatment appointments and keep her CALM (with strict crate rest or supervised relaxation) post treatment injections (for 2-3 months). We provide adopters with instructions and will cover needed meds. Dogs who are treated for heartworm have a positive likelihood of recovery when post-treatment instructions and rest are followed.
