CCTR’s Dog Tails of Summer – Beryl (NKA Mildred) – Adopted 3/9/2026

When we first saw the email about fosters urgently needed for Westies in March, we weren’t sure about participating. We have 3 dogs currently that take a great deal of time, energy and funds. Yet something nudged us to investigate further. As we conversed and inquired with Julie in Intakes, it became clear we would be fostering one of these dogs! As soon as I picked her up from her local transport, I had a feeling Beryl, now Mildred, would be a foster failure!!!

Initially Mildred was very timid, confused and downcast yet very sweet. The pictures from the first few days of her pen segregation, show this. After the first week, Mildred started to tentatively explore the room, the house and other dogs. Since then, she has continued to show steady progress in positive interactions with her siblings, other dogs and people.

She had her first grooming a few weeks ago and did wonderfully. Mildred’s sweet, energetic and inquisitive personality has emerged and she is a wonderful addition to the household. She has an endearing, daily ritual of gathering many Lambchop toys of different sizes and mothering them. So sweet!

Mildred spends a lot of time running around a big backyard with her sister, Hazel, playing, exploring, hunting squirrels and birds. We are so grateful Mildred chose us!!

Thank you
