NWR: A little help? Kind of long, about good home for a puppy!

So, about 2-ish months ago FILs adopted a yellow lab that they have named Millie. Apparently there was some kind of "altercation" last night between one of thier cats and Millie. I am told it was instagated by the cat, but the cat was hurt so they have decided they need to take Millie back to the SPCA where they got her from.

I asked them to hold off because I thought maybe I could find a home for her through here without her having to go back to the shelter.

She's probably about 4-5 months old, has had her shots and is spayed. She probably isn't good in a home with cats (unless the cats don't mind dogs maybe it'd be okay). When she interacts with Copper (a Pom) She plays very rough, so she probably would be a best fit with a house with either no dogs, or other large dogs.
 
We would take her, but being apartment dwellers and Having Copper, I don't think we would work out for her either.

You can either contact me here or PM me if you want some more info or if you are interested! Please let me know ASAP, they were going to take her today but I convinced them to wait!

This is her when they first got her.


ETA:I'm pretty sure they're not looking to sell her. Just a good home!

    Mine too. I really wish we could take her, but with Copper it wouldn't be a good situation for him to have her there trying to play and it's not a big apartment. I had some concerns from the beginning but I was hoping they'd be able to stick it out until she was 1 y/o that way she would calm down some...

    So...true story. I love labs. I currently have no lab. I'm going to call J and see if he would be interested in becoming a papa. :)

    ETA--He said no. He is worried about the size, and us not owning yet is what is holding him back. I'm sorry, but I hope you have luck finding her a good home!

    If we already had our house, she'd totally be spoken for :(

    She's so adorable, too.

    I'm not so good with the advice... Can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?

    I have two really good friends who are active in the Lab Rescue here in the greater DFW area.  If you can not find a home I can see about a contact name for the rescue or some information on how to get a dog in the rescue program.  Then Copper could perhaps get a foster home and not be at the SPCA.

    Oops, sorry--got the names mixed up.  Don't send Copper to the rescue--I meant Millie.

    Let me talk with DH and see what he says, we've just been thinking about adopting a puppy. Let me know what happens. It's really best to send me an e-mail, rcpm44 at hotmail.com.

    does she chew on shoes? Because that would totally be a deal breaker.  ;)

    I emailed you! 

    It's going to be coming from an email address ending in at mavs.uta.edu. I don't want to put the full thing on here because it's my name, but it's the easiest one to use because it links to my phone.

    And YES! I forgot to mention she does chew. I've never heard of shoes, but charging cords to phones/laptops, edges of the table and even a funnel.

    Amen to that.

    And now she's the mod on the San Antonio board...Why do I have a feeling that San Antonio will be having a lot of stray pets soon?
