There's a lot to learn when you have a new pet. Our sister brand, The Wildest, is here to support you—with new pet checklists, virtual training, and expert guides. Sign up for free.
Please note that only those being considered will be contacted. We do not typically adopt outside of a 2 hour radius from the foster dog. Some exceptions may apply.
Hiya! I'm Millie! I really want to find my forever home, so here's my adoption pitch.
How about we go over my daily agenda? I like calm and predictable. Snuggles, walks (pulling on the leash to chase squirrels is your strength training and my cardio), meals, and naps (a dog's gotta rest, right?) I'm also fully housetrained (you're welcome).
I can get a bit protective over my food and toys – just a little snarl, and we're back to being best buds. Cats? Nah, they're just too tempting to chase. Kids? Love 'em! I'm always on my best behaviour around those tiny humans. Oh, and if you hear me bark in Inuktitut, don't worry, I'm just reminiscing about my northern roots. I'm told I've got a great singing voice, too. I can teach you, and we can duet!
Let's make some memories, one squirrel chase at a time!
Millie does have some guarding issues with dogs, therefore ideally her forever family would focus all the attention on her, and have her as the only fur baby. She can play with medium/large dogs, but no toys/bones involved.

Additional adoption info
We use a team to cover different steps in the process so that we have input from several individuals to confirm dog/puppy is a fit in the new family and we have the correct forever home.
