Millie Happy Tails Dog Adoption Story November 2020

Patrice & MillieAdopted November 2020Norfolk Terrier / English Springer Spaniel

Our beloved (rescue) border collie mix, Boco died after 15 years with our family. As the days passed ( especially with Covid) we missed having a dog with us more and more.

We got on Petfinders and looked about two months ago and had a couple of disappointments and near misses. You get the dog you’re supposed to be with and for us it was Khamil, who after 2 sets of loving fosters came to us as Millie on a journey from her loving family in Texas. She’s wonderful and loves being in our wooded upstate NY home.

She’s sweet, well mannered (!) and loving- just as she was described. It’s such a Happy Thanksgiving for our family. If you’re looking, don’t give up. The dog you want is worth waiting for!!

Adopted from

Erin & Clover

As soon as I saw Clover (formerly Lexie) I knew she was going to be my dog. I sent an email to ask for more info about her and Kim wrote me back right away happy to answer any questions I had. She told me all about Clover's backstory and what to expect when bringing her home. Since she was located in AR and I am in CT we arranged a FaceTime so I could see Clover "in person." Kim really went above and beyond to help me through the entire process of adopting my dog, sending me pictures and keeping me updated every step of the way. Clover is a perfect fit for me and my family and I will be forever grateful for Kim and Second Chance Rescue for helping to connect us.

Victoria & Darcie

My boyfriend and I adopted sweet Darcie two days after my birthday. It was a momentous day as I had waited over 8 years to adopt a dog after my previous dogs, Hershey and Chelsea had passed. Darcie is my first rescue and I'm so thankful to have found her. She's affectionate, playful, energetic, and loyal. Our days are filled with walks, hikes, dog parks, belly rubs, tug of war, swimming, and fetch. She's the perfect dog for us in Colorado and we love her dearly. I'm so thankful for Petfinder and Darcie's rescue, Scroungy Dogs and Pretty Pups.

Carolyn & Frankie

Frankie was one of 11 pups born to a rescue dog found walking the streets of Mississippi. He is truly the best thing that has happened to our family. He has brought such joy and happiness to our once quiet household…we can’t even imagine life without is sappy kisses and playful howls!
