Meet adoptable deaf one year old Milly who is looking for a loving forever home with someone who will cherish her and always keep her safe.
From her rescue advocate: Milly is a shelter dog located in Charlotte, NC.
She was brought into Animal Care & Control two months ago and has been looking for her people ever since.
Milly is so scared in the shelter setting, she pancakes on her kennel walks out the door and needs to be carried to go back in.
During a brief foster stay for Milly we learned:
– Milly absolutely loves the life of luxury. Couch is life, to Milly.
– Milly understands some visual cues and is potty trained
– Milly feels safe in her crate but truly prefers her favorite place (couch, duh) next to her people
– Milly becomes so trusting and in tune with her people in a short time
– Milly is incredibly loving, she gives hugs and kisses non stop if you would let her
– Milly does need help in gaining confidence. She had a tinge of separation anxiety and insecurity but would truly bloom after some great decompression
– Milly loves her spaces (like her beloved couch), so she has shown some instances of resource guarding with other dogs and small kids
– Best of of, Milly is a JOY. Seeing her zest for life and heart full of love is so endearing.

Adoption process:
Come visit!
8315 Byrum Dr, Charlotte NC 28217
Monday-Friday 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Saturday-Sunday 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Bring your ID and form of adoption payment. Also remember to bring a leash/collar set for dogs, and/or carriers for cats and small pets.
You are more than welcome to check out the kennels and do not have to wait in line. When arriving, head toward the front desk, make a slight right, down the hall, and turn right. Both doors on the right are open for adoptable dogs. The first door is adoption; walk around the outside of the kennels in a giant loop to see everything we have. The second door is our lost kennels but there are dogs available for adoption and pre-adoption. Go around the outside of the kennels on both sides to see all the dogs. Go find your new friend!
When you find a pet, you are interested in meeting, take a picture of the kennel card (white or yellow paper hanging on the door) and head to the customer service desk (where you came in!). If there’s a line, you’ll need to wait in line.
Staff will provide any and all information we may have listed and then bring the pet to you. If there’s more than one pet you’d like to see, make sure you provide the ID numbers to the customer service staff so they can give you info all at once and have you on the list to meet with a maximum of 2 pets, so you don’t have to get back in line for a second greeting.
When you fall in love and ready to adopt, keep the pet in the room, and go back to the staff. If there’s a line, you’ll need to wait in line.
