Mila’s Very Happy Tail

Tyler and Amanda were on the hunt for a good companion for their Rottweiler. However, the Rottweiler was fairly dog-selective. She decided to look at Last Hope because she went to Cedar Run and knew about the relationship between the two. Amanda says Last Hope was great about having meet-and-greets so they could find just the right fit. Also, all the volunteers who helped them were amazing. More than just blindly having a parade of dogs have a meeting with their dog. The volunteers took the time to discuss their needs and then suggest some dogs that might be a good fit.

Then they met Mila (formerly Connery) and the puzzle fit. Their current dog got along with her, and they liked her, so we processed the adoption. The adjustment period was pretty smooth, according to Amanda. She credits the great assistance they got from the volunteers and the work the foster family did with her. Mila had a little separation anxiety at first, but that has resolved itself. Oh, and there were a couple of accidents, but that happens to the best of us.

It was discovered that Mila had elbow dysplasia in two legs. Of course, Last Hope made sure the medical issues were addressed before Mila went to her new home. They got that little hurdle behind them, and they say you’d never know she was injured.

Tyler and Amanda think Mila is great. She’s goofy and playful and just fun to be around. She is four and still has tons of energy. She has daily walks and loves to be out and about. She wrestles and does laps around the couch. She also loves her daily Kong, but wishes her people would put fewer healthy snacks in it!

When asked how everything went, Amanda said, “Just very thankful for everyone at Last Hope; you can tell everyone truly cares about the animals in their care, and they do a great job with the adoption process.”

We love to hear how well Mila is doing and are glad they felt like the adoption process was smooth. We are so happy we could help out this family and find a forever home for Mila.
