About Millie

Millie is a sweet, sensitive girl who’s discovering that home can be a safe haven. She was surrendered to the shelter and arrived with a cloud of fear, but since transitioning into foster care, she has begun to flourish. Millie is learning that there’s joy in comfort and connection. Once shy, she now showcases a playful and affectionate side, eagerly curling up on the couch with anyone willing to share it. Millie loves basking in the sun and will snuggle close at night, finding security in her loved ones. This delightful girl has thrived around an 8-year-old child, demonstrating gentleness and affection. Well house-trained, Millie is comfortable left alone for a few hours, but she prefers to be loose rather than crated. Daily walks are a must; her energy thrives with regular activity, and she loves to chase squirrels, so a confident handler on leash is key. While she’s open to dog companionship, she seems to favor male dogs; slow introductions are essential to ensure a comfortable bond. Millie is still a work in progress, but with the right patience and understanding, she’ll grow into the devoted companion she’s meant to be. Click apply to start the adoption process.
