Story
If you would like more information about Millie or are interested in adopting her, please send an email to alyssan.wilson24@gmail.com
Millie is such a wonderful, happy puppy! She is incredibly loving, affectionate, very smart, silly, and funny. She’s also a great swimmer, very energetic, and full of personality—the list could truly go on. Millie is a beautiful dog and I love her dearly; however, I have come to realize that we may not be the best fit lifestyle-wise.
I found Millie one evening roaming around my condo parking lot when she was about four months old. This was about a month after the passing of my dog, Pico, so I may have been in a vulnerable emotional space at the time, but I felt it was my responsibility to help her find a safe home. The next morning I put up signs around my complex, checked for a microchip (she did not have one), and posted about her on the Nextdoor app. After a week with no one coming forward to claim her, I decided to bring her into my home.
Over the past several months we have built a bond, and she has brought a lot of joy into my life. However, as much as I love her, I recognize that I may not be able to provide everything she needs to truly thrive. I live in a one-bedroom condo, and now that Millie has grown (currently around 40–50 pounds), it has become clear that she would do best in a home with more space to run and play—ideally with a yard (and even better if there’s a pool, since she loves to swim!).
Millie would thrive with someone who has the time and flexibility to give her the attention, activity, and engagement she deserves—perhaps someone who works from home, has a flexible schedule, or simply leads a very active lifestyle.
Making the decision to rehome Millie has been incredibly difficult, but I truly believe it is the right choice for her well-being. She deserves a home where she can have the space, time, and environment to live her happiest life. Writing this is heartbreaking, but sometimes the most loving decisions are also the hardest ones.
