Millie

Millie- Female Retriever/Cur/Terrier Mix (BREED AND WEIGHT AT FULL GROWTH ARE BEST GUESS ONLY) Date of Birth 12/11/23 Current weight 8lbs Millie comes from a typical sad situation of unwanted due to the irresponsibility of humans not spaying/neutering. At just 4-5 weeks old she and her siblings were discarded at the gates of the shelter in Alabama. Thank goodness they were well cared for and got to hitch a ride to Illinois to find their forever homes. Already learning basic puppy manners (Crate training, leash training, house training) they are all very smart, quick learners and huge snugglers. Someone would need to be home most of the time (no more than a few hours left alone) to continue training and socialization. She loves kids and other dogs. She’s the smallest of the litter but she makes up for it in her huge personality. She’s so sweet and LOVES children (currently in a home with 2 young children) She’d love nothing more than to play all day with her toys and snuggle with her best kid friend. She loves treats and is very food motivated which makes training a lot easier. If Millie seems like a great fit and you would meet her requirements please visit the rescue website www.foreverhomedogrescueil.org for process and applications. WE DO NOT DO OUT OF STATE ADOPTIONS Thank you for considering the adoption of one of our rescue dogs. We are committed to finding our rescues the perfect home. Together we can make a difference in the life of a dog. The adoption process should be a fun and exciting time for families and dogs. Our goal is to place our babies in forever homes. The potential adopter needs to be dedicated to their care and training for life. Understand that sharing your life with a dog can be a commitment of 15+ years. This would include feeding, exercise, training, vetting, and providing a loving home. Ask yourself, "Am I ready for this type of commitment?" If you are ready, we are here to help. We do have some requirements to help us find the perfect placement of our babies. WE ARE A FOSTER BASED RESCUE ONLY. WE DO NOT HAVE A PHYSICAL BUILDING 1.
