Story
Millie is around 2 years old and she is 55 pounds. She has never ONCE had an accident in the house. She is actually pretty good in the car, but loves to have her head out the window… (as do most dogs). We went on about an hour and a half day trip the other day and she did really well with a bone to distract her. My vet also told me that we could attempt to give her Benadryl if we go on a longer car ride just to settle her down. As you already might know, rescues often need some additional training because they have not been given the attention they need growing up… she has never really counter surfed or chewed anything up but we occasionally see her put her two paws up to smell something I might be cooking. With that said, I will say “No!” And she immediately knows to get down. She is completely fine with noise and big crowds, but sometimes will bark if she sees someone at our door or hears a loud noise at night (when she knows it should be quiet outside). One important thing to note about her: she absolutely needs exercise. She is a dog that without it, will combust with energy. I go to the Piedmont Park dog park every morning and take her on a pretty long walk in the afternoons… Millie went to someone’s house before and they were expecting a couch dog, so I like to be open and honest about that upfront. I will tell you the hardest thing with Millie is her leash training… we have gotten her an easy walker and it has worked WONDERS, but she has an incredibly strong pull when she sees a squirrel (small prey drive). We have worked a lot with her on that and when I see a squirrel, I just pull a little tighter and say “no” before she even has the chance to pull. All in all, Millie truly just wants to be loved! She has the sweetest / cuddliest heart of all time and deserves a good home. I know this was a long message, but I just want to make sure she gets put in the right hands and doesn’t have to go back to a shelter because she is not what people wanted / expected!

Once your application is approved, we will bring the adoptable pet to your home for a preliminary visit. We are 100% donation-funded and our fees are equivalent to (or less than) the cost to fully vet a new dog yourself November 27, 2023, 12:59 pm
