About Millie

Everybody, meet Millie! Millie is a 3-year-old German Shepherd–Pit mix with a deep love for cuddling and an unwavering loyalty to her people. She soaks up attention from humans and welcomes new faces with genuine interest, showing no reservation when meeting someone new. Millie’s brain never seems to switch off; she already knows over 20 tricks and commands, and she listens sharply. She thrives on activity, always ready for a run, hike, or play session—this is not a dog for someone looking for a couch potato. Millie will need an adopter who matches her energy and wants to include her in their daily adventures. She isn't suitable for homes with other dogs or cats and should be an only pet, but with people, she's easygoing and affectionate. She is already spayed and up to date on vaccinations. Lynchburg Humane Society is assisting Millie’s rehoming, but she is not in their physical custody. All questions about Millie should go directly to her current owner.
