The moment Millie spots someone new, her tail starts wagging. She happily makes her way over, hoping for a few kind words, a gentle scratch behind the ears, or simply the chance to be close. She has an easy, affectionate way about her that makes it feel like you've known her for years. Despite everything life has thrown at her, Millie has never stopped believing that people are good.
Our best guess is that Millie is a Labrador/Poodle mix with a soft, wavy coat that will benefit from regular trips to the groomer to keep her looking and feeling her best.
The truth is, Millie hasn't always been treated with the kindness she so freely gives.
She was found wandering one of our local beaches alongside another dog. Both girls were underweight. Both had damaged teeth. Both had mammary masses. Based on their condition, our veterinarian believes they likely spent much of their lives being bred before they were abandoned when they were no longer useful.
Since then, Millie's story has taken a much happier turn. Thanks to the incredible team at Penn Vet, she underwent surgery to remove her mammary masses. We're thrilled to share that her biopsy results came back benign, and she has fully recovered and been medically cleared for adoption.
Millie also spent time in a foster home while she recovered, where she continued to prove what we had already seen at the shelter: she's an incredibly sweet, gentle companion who simply loves being with people. Whether she's joining you for a walk, following you from room to room, or settling in beside you after a long day, she's happiest when she's with her people.
For what may have been the first time in her life, Millie now gets the chance to be chosen simply because she's Millie—not because of what she could provide for someone else.
We think that's long overdue. If you are interested in meeting any of our animals, we encourage you to first visit our website and submit an adoption application: .acskc/adopt-1
Once your adoption application has been approved, we will call you to set up an appointment to meet with the pet! We welcome adopters from out of state to apply!
