About Millie

Millie is a charming little lady who was found alongside her sibling Faith, both in desperate need of care. When rescued, they were just 13 pounds, but thanks to the love and attention they've received, Millie now weighs 16.5 pounds and continues to thrive. Estimated to be under a year old, she’s projected to stay around 20-25 pounds. Millie is learning to navigate her new world and is eager for affection. Though she’s making strides in leash training and is responsive to commands, she would do best as the only dog in the home due to some guarding tendencies around food. With a playful spirit and a gentle approach to treats, she can be a bit bouncy, so households with very small children may want to consider her energy levels before committing. Now spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations, Millie is ready to embrace her new life with a loving family. Don't miss out on getting to know this sweet pup!
