Milka was dumped outside local guesthouse and friend of the sanctuary, Kingfisher House. We don’t know why her family chose to throw her away but we saw her shaking with fear, hiding from the rain under a stone ledge. 

Our friends at Kingfisher, who also have two dogs adopted from Denise years ago, took Milka in and provided her a safe place to sleep and food everyday. We provided tick and flea treatment. However, as Milka became more comfortable and confident over a few weeks she began to explore, often caught wandering down the busy road, past bigger, meaner dogs, and to the hectic market. 

To save Milka spending her life on a chain, or worse, being the victim of a tragic accident, we stepped in and agreed to take on this sweet girl and keep her safe and healthy.

Milka, affectionately nicknamed Millie, was given her name before we ever met by a generous group of customers at the local bar The Dog House. These vacationing animal lovers heard about our sanctuary and did a spontaneous whip-round and chose the name of our next rescue – thank you kind strangers!
