Millie is a delightful female Staffy with a gentle and loving nature. From the moment she entered her foster care in mid-June, she has shown remarkable adaptability to family life. Living with her foster sister, Bella, another young Staffy, Millie has quickly embraced the joy of companionship. Their dynamic, although playful, showcases Millie's ability to balance her spirited side with tolerance and affection.
Her love for human interaction is as strong as her affinity for lounging in the sun. Millie is eager to please and already knows how to sit for a snack, demonstrating her cleverness and willingness to learn. She's adjusting well to her new environment, only barking a bit when another canine passes by, proving that she has a calm and composed demeanour. Bath times have been a breeze, illustrating her cooperative nature, and although she's still fine-tuning her skills on the leash, she shows promising signs with each walk.
Millie's ideal home would be one where she can enjoy both the company of another friendly dog like Bella and loving humans who appreciate her gentle disposition. With a bit more practice on her walks and continued affection and care, Millie will thrive in a nurturing environment. If you're looking for a loyal and gentle companion to bring joy to your life, Millie is sure to be a perfect fit.

Like all Council fees and charges, these costs will be reviewed each year. Any changes will be publicly exhibited for comment before they are adopted by Council.
Yes you can!
When you let us know you're interested to adopt a cat or adopt a dog, we'll contact you and arrange a meet and greet so you can say hello and decide if they’re the one for you.
Our dogs and cats are boarded at a number of regional kennelling facilities contracted by Council. These are currently located across Wollongong, Gerringong and Nowra. You can't directly visit these facilities, but we'll bring the dog or cat to a location in our area that works for you.
Being a pet owner is a big responsibility.
To adopt a pet from Council:
- You must be over 18 years old
- You don't have to live in the Illawarra, but you will need to be able to transport your pet home.
Before adopting a new pet, consider your lifestyle and living arrangements.
If you have any questions or concerns, our team is happy to talk to you about your situation. Please email us or call (02) 4227 7111 to arrange a discussion.
We recognise the serious issue of baiting within the animal rehoming industry. To help prevent this, we have an assessment process in place for potential owners.
Potential owners are vetted to make sure that they’re suitable and committed to animal well-being.
