Millie

My story

Meet Millie – The Comeback Dog Who Sparked a Movement Millie is the dog who set our rescue wheels into motion! She’s not just a survivor; she’s the inspiration behind Second Start Rescue and the spark for a movement none of us saw coming. When Millie was found, she was locked behind a deadbolted gate, with a massive lump on her side, no hair, and looking as pitiful as could be. What we didn’t realize was that she was also critically anemic, just days away from death. At the time, our rescue hadn’t even been formed yet, but the community rallied together to get Millie the urgent veterinary care she needed. Thousands of dollars were raised, and a lifesaving blood transfusion saved her. Her resilience inspired everyone to jump back into rescue, and Second Start Rescue was born! Today, Millie looks like a completely new dog. Her coat has grown in beautifully, her energy is back, and she’s full of life. She’s thriving with her foster family in Delaware but is still working through some lingering health issues, including treatment for a stubborn UTI. Many know Millie becuase of her 'sack' that was frankly enormous! We are so happy to share that Millie's sack has shrunk significantly and poses no threat to her health! Millie is a wonderful girl who loves her people! Her foster truly believes her only flaw is that she barks at strangers in her home/yard. When we are out and about she could care less! We are working on this through obedience training. Millie is a smart lady and we have no doubt she will continue to show us just what an AMAZING DOG she is! She’s a symbol of hope and second chances, and now she’s ready for her own.
