About Millie
Millie came to the shelter after being surrendered due to unforeseen circumstances. Initially, she was shut down and fearful, overwhelmed by the everyday sights and sounds. As a sensitive cattle dog-type, Millie needed time and patience to start feeling safe. Since entering foster care, she has begun to blossom, revealing a more affectionate and playful side that shines through her initial shyness. In her foster home, Millie thrives on comfort and connection. She loves attention and will curl up next to anyone willing to share the couch. Lying on the deck to soak up the sun is one of her favorite pastimes, allowing her to take in the world at her own pace. At night, she is a dedicated snuggler, staying close to her human until morning and embracing the security they provide. Millie has done really well with the 8-year-old child in her foster home, showcasing her gentle and affectionate nature when she feels secure. She is house-trained and can be left alone for short periods without issue, although she doesn’t take well to being crated. Daily walks help her release energy, and like many cattle dog mixes, she enjoys chasing squirrels—making a confident leash handler essential. Millie tends to prefer male dogs and requires slow introductions to new canine companions. Millie is still a sensitive soul, but she is learning to trust, relax, and love. With the right home that understands her unique combination of softness and energy, she'll unfold into the devoted companion she is meant to be. Ready to fall in love?
