🦃🍂 Happy Thanksgiving from The Millennium Pack! 🍂🦃

This holiday season, we’re feeling especially grateful for all our incredible clients and their amazing pups. You’ve trusted us with your furry family members, and it’s been a joy to provide them with love, care, and a home away from home.

As we reflect on the past year, we’re reminded of the wagging tails, playful paws, and the special bonds we’ve built with every dog and their family. Thank you for making The Millennium Pack part of your journey.

From our pack to yours, we wish you a Thanksgiving filled with love, laughter, and plenty of treats (for you and your pups)! 🐕🦴

Happy Thanksgiving,
🐾 The Millennium Pack

Kratos and I just finished up our second obedience class with Richmond Dog Obedience Club - RDOC last night! He did amazing as always, and is such a wonderful, smart, confident, and handsome dog.

Puppy/basic obedience classes aren’t just for people who have never trained dogs before - they are awesome for learning new training techniques, gaining different perspectives, and of course, proper socialization for young dogs. Learning how to work around distractions, other people and other dogs is SO imperative for dogs to learn from a young age.

We are looking forward to our next class in January! 🥰

On Saturday, November 16, 2024 is the start of shotgun deer season where dogs are allowed to track deer for hunters. This season runs from November 16, 2024-January 4, 2025. You will encounter hunting dogs on county roadways, crossing fields, running through the woods as well as slow moving vehicles as hunters attempting to capture their hunting dogs. Please use caution while driving and those that are hunting, please be safe. Also, it is a criminal offense to remove a tracking collar from a dog. Any hunting related incidents are typically investigated by the Virginia Conservation Police. This is an informational post only. No negative comments, please. ***Comments have been turned off since people continued to post negative comments. WE understand better than MOST about how Hounds can be a problem for shelters, how they are dumped and become our problem. BUT, we can't let a few bad apples cause us to Lump a whole group into the same category.
We take the care of animals, hounds etc. very seriously! We work very hard to make sure animals voices are heard and don't take that job lightly.

We hope everyone stays safe this hunting season and please be a responsible Hunter and Dog owner.

Today, we pause to honor the brave men and women who have served our country with courage and dedication. To all our veterans, thank you for your service, sacrifices, and unwavering commitment to protecting our freedoms.

We are grateful for the selflessness and strength you’ve shown. May this day remind us all of the debt of gratitude we owe to those who have worn the uniform.

Happy Veterans Day! 🇺🇸

📢 Important Announcement from The Millennium Pack 📢

We’re making a change to our boarding services! Starting February 1, 2025, we’ll be closing the boarding aspect of The Millennium Pack to *****new***** clients. This decision ensures as stress-free of an environment as possible for all dogs in our care, especially our pups. Our adolescent German Shepherd, Kratos, and Border Collie, Herja, love their friends, but new dogs can sometimes be stressful. After working to make it work for the past year, we’ve decided that this is the best path forward to prioritize the comfort and well-being of all.

⭐Holiday Hours:⭐

🦃Thanksgiving Week: 🍁
- Closed for NEW boarding clients.
🎅Christmas Week: 🎄
- Boarding services unavailable from 12/25/24 to 12/29/24. All pick-ups on 12/24/24 must be completed by noon.

If you would like to become a client before this change takes effect, please contact us to schedule a boarding reservation before February 1, 2025. Exceptions may be made for referrals from current clients, so feel free to contact us if you have a referral.

⭐⭐Looking Forward to 2025:⭐⭐
Here are the updates that will take place over the new year:

- Website: Our website, www.themillenniumpack.com, will no longer be active.
- Communication: We’ll be available via cell phone, Facebook, and Instagram.
- Rover Profile: Limited walking services will be offered near my office in the Richmond area only.
- Fostering: We are hoping to start fostering for local rescues once more. With the economy the way it is, we understand and fully respect people knowing when they can no longer afford to care for their pets. One of the ways we are hoping to help our community more is by being able to open our home up to foster pups who need it.

Thank you for understanding and supporting our tough decision. Please know that it was made to serve our family, client dogs, and community to the best of our ability. 🐾♥️

This gorgeous girl stole our hearts during her recent stay with us. Percy is a beautiful black German Shepherd mix with the most soulful eyes and gentle personality. She made herself right at home, loving every cozy blanket and cuddle time on the couch!

It was a joy having her here, and we’re already looking forward to her next visit. 🥰

Herja’s back in the “cone of shame,” but this time it’s for a different reason – she was spayed last Tuesday. While we’re experienced in working with intact dogs and provide boarding services for non-spayed or neutered pups, sometimes, spaying or neutering is in our own dogs’ best interest.

Herja’s heat cycles were unpredictable and challenging, often bringing some pretty significant mood swings and making her extra clingy and nervous, which led to stomach upsets – a tough cycle for her.

Originally, we had hoped to add some Border Collie puppies to our pack once her health testing and titles were complete. However, after watching her mature, it became clear that Herja’s puppy-like spirit and second time being hospitalized for severe gastrointestinal upset/hemorrhaging meant she might not thrive as a mom. It would be even worse if she passed it onto her offspring - a completely unnecessary risk we were not willing to take.

Ultimately, the decision to spay her was the best choice for her health and happiness. While she was under anesthesia for the procedure, we also took the opportunity to get her OFA hip and elbow X-rays taken, so once I actually get her registered with the AKC (she is ABCA registered, just need to transfer the registration), I will get those submitted to the official OFA database.

We’re excited for her recovery and all the adventures still to come with our sweet girl! 💜🐾

🎃 Happy Halloween from The Millennium Pack! 🎃

We hope you and your furry friends had a safe, fun-filled day full of treats, spooky sniffs, and playful tricks! Remember to keep an eye on those candy bowls – the sweets are for the humans, but there’s always a special treat waiting for our pups!

Share your best Halloween pet costumes with us in the comments! We’d love to see our favorite four-legged friends all dressed up. Hope you all had a tail-wagging, treat-tastic Halloween! 🐾🧡

There’s no magic wand in dog training, but there are cheese sticks, which can sometimes be the same thing… or better.

We’ve had the pleasure of hosting the most beautiful Vizsla, Vesper a couple of times over the past two months! Her sleek coat, boundless energy, and sweet personality have been such a joy to have around. Whether she’s zooming around the yard or curling up for some snuggles, Vesper has definitely stolen our hearts!

Zharia tried something new at the RDOC club’s AKC Fast CAT trial in Mechanicsville at the end of September, and she absolutely crushed it! 🏆 She scored over 100 points across both days and is well on her way to earning her BCAT title! So proud of my girl and excited for more Fast CAT fun ahead!

Kratos had his first trip to the farmers market today! He was a little shy at first, but we took things slow, and he did amazing! So proud of how well he handled all the new sights and sounds.

He also is a VERY messy drinker and proceeded lose half the water in his mouth down the sides as he was looking at me for this picture 🤣
