My name is Mildred!

Hi there, I'm Mildred. I'm a sweet, timid 5-year-old girl weighing in at just 26 lbs. Life hasn't been easy for me, and I'm currently in a shelter just waiting for the right person to come along and give me a forever home. I don’t know much about my past, but I do know that I’m ready to move forward and find a family who will love me.

I’m a gentle soul who gets along with everyone, though loud noises can make me a little nervous. I just need a bit of time to feel comfortable in new situations, but once I do, I’m all about cuddles and companionship. I’ve got a lot of love to give, and I’m hoping to find someone who will help me grow confident and show me how amazing life can be.

I might be a little shy at first, but I promise that with patience and kindness, I’ll blossom into the loyal, loving companion you’ve been looking for. If you’re looking for a sweet, loving dog who just needs a chance to shine into her golden years together, I could be the one for you. I’m waiting and hoping that my forever family is out there, ready to bring me home. If you're interested in making me a part of your family, please apply at https://peace4paws.org/adoption-application. I can’t wait to meet you.
