Do you remember Millie (@millie_thebkgirl)? Last year, our partner, @youumbba, rescued Millie in Nonsan and medically treated her. She was an abused stray who suffered severe burns on her body caused by someone pouring boiling water on her. We took Millie into our care afterward and rehabilitated her until she was ready for adoption. She was recently adopted by her dream forever home, and we’re so happy for her! Here’s what Millie’s amazing adopter has to say about it:

“I first saw a post about Millie in September and made the decision to foster for KK9R. It was not long after the loss of my previous pup (Mickey) of 17 years. I wasn’t sure if I could open my heart to another dog, but fostering healed my heart. In December, I found out Millie made it to NYC, and I just knew that Millie is the “one.” Thanks to Vicky and Millie’s foster @yaztea, we made the adoption official.

We’ve had so much fun so far. She’s learning how to play – first fetch in the backyard and even practicing catch. She also loves going on long walks. She’s very smart, always sits patiently for her food, gives paws, and is keen to relax in her “place” with her toys. Soft toys are her favorite, and she carries them everywhere.

Most importantly, Millie’s ability to love people is special and inspiring — I know she has touched so many people in such a short time. For some, her history would cause fear. For Millie, her history ignited bravery. I’ve never met another soul that loves as deeply as her. I know, over the years, Millie will teach me how to love deeper by passing that love to me. I am so blessed to have Millie in my life, and I look forward to the life we will share together.”
