After a day at work, Arleth Martinez returned home in Baytown, Texas, to a heartbreaking sight—a white puppy attempting to make a bed in a trash can filled with garbage, desperately seeking refuge from the cold. When the puppy, later named Milly, noticed Martinez approaching, she looked up with a sad expression, evoking Martinez’s sympathy. Seeing the scared pup, Martinez assumed Milly had been abandoned and felt heartbroken for her plight. Determined to help, she couldn’t bear how hurt the puppy must be.
Showing Milly Compassion
Despite her abandonment, Milly instinctively trusted Martinez, who recognized the puppy’s deep need for love. As she pondered how best to help, Martinez noticed her neighbor throwing ice at Milly, trying to scare her away. Fuming with both sadness and anger, she brought the frightened pup into her home, assuring her that everything would be alright. With a kind heart, Martinez shared Milly’s photo on social media in hopes of finding her a loving forever home.
Three Little Pitties Rescue, based in Houston, Texas, saw Martinez’s post and felt compelled to step in. They picked up Milly and transported her to a clinic, where she received essential medical care.
Milly received necessary treatments, including deworming, heartworm prevention, and flea control. Estimated to be five months old, she began to improve as her caregivers reassured her that all would be well and showered her with love.
Hoping To Find Her Forever Humans
Placed in a loving foster home, Milly’s charming personality soon blossomed. She loved engaging with toys but cherished cuddling with her foster family even more. The rescue noted, “Milly is a gentle player who enjoys treats and cuddles. She will gently paw you when she wants belly rubs and loves ear scratches,” as described in her adoption profile.
While she thrives in her foster home, Milly longs for a permanent home to call her own. Her friends at the rescue believe she will be the ideal furry companion for any family since she loves people and greets everyone with warmth.
“Strangers? What are those? To Milly, everyone is a potential new best friend, ready to give pets and love,” shared the rescue. Milly eagerly hopes to meet her forever family, the ones who will offer her the endless love her heart desires.
As Milly awaits her dream to be fulfilled, her foster family continues showering her with love and care, ensuring she knows she’ll never have to sleep in garbage or beg for help again. I sincerely hope Milly finds her forever humans soon and embarks on the most beautiful chapter of her life.
