Dog who spent more than a year waiting to be adopted gets a new family

A dog who has been waiting to be adopted for more than a year has finally met his new family.

Finally, it’s Miller’s time.

A dog who had been in the care of the Kitchener Waterloo and Stratford Perth Humane Society for more than a year has been adopted.

Miller, a two-and-a-half year old large breed dog with some hound tendencies, was named the Humane Society’s longest canine tenant earlier this month.

The Humane Society said he had watched as more than 300 other dogs come into the shelter and then left with their new families.

But finally, Miller is having that magical moment himself.

He was adopted on April 17. His new family includes three other hounds.

In a social media post on Wednesday, the Humane Society shared a video of Miller saying goodbye to his human friends at the shelter.

“There were tail wags, a few emotional moments, and one very happy hound ready to go,” the post said. “Miller walked out those doors with his new family and into the life he’s been waiting for.”

“Run free, live loud, and don’t forget us Miller,” the Humane Society wrote.
