Millie is a 9 year old Labrador Retriever in Benton, AR, who needs $2,000 for CHOP.

The day I met Millie was unexpected yet unforgettable. It all started with a visit to the local animal shelter, where I had gone to simply browse and maybe pet a few dogs. As soon as I opened the door, a pair of soulful eyes caught my attention. There she was, a small lab with a wagging tail and a hopeful gaze. I asked the shelter worker if I could hold her,just 6wks old, and the rest is history.

One morning, we woke up to find Millie's lymph nodes swollen, a stark and alarming change. Concerned, we wasted no time and had her biopsied, which revealed devastating news: lymphoma, diagnosed on June 7th. Our hearts sank further on July 16th when we learned it was the more aggressive T Cell lymphoma. Living in Florida, we sought out expertise and hope at MedVet New Orleans in Metairie, LA.

Millie is truly one of a kind. She has a knack for finding the coziest spot, right between her mom and dad, gently nudging us when it's time to settle down for the night. Thunder and fireworks don't faze her, but she's quick to announce any visitors with her signature bark.Her love for the beach is infectious. Millie's eyes light up at the sight of the ocean, eagerly plunging into the waves.

With Millie on daily prednisone, we're anxiously awaiting treatment options. Each day is a blend of worry and hope, clinging to any chance for Millie's recovery. She's more than a pet; she's family, and we're determined to fight this battle together, no matter how tough.
