About Millie

Meet Millie! This spirited nine-month-old English Springer Spaniel and German Shepherd mix is a joyful whirlwind of curiosity wrapped up in her striking tricolor coat. Millie weighs about 45 pounds and is built for fun, with a mix that includes a splash of Siberian Husky, Australian Cattle Dog, and Great Pyrenees. Currently in Amherst, MA, Millie needs an active family that can keep up with her high energy and cleverness. She thrives with playmates and should go to a home with a playful canine companion. Millie has done well with dogs of various ages and sizes, but she is not suited for a home with cats, as she can't resist the temptation to chase them. Affectionate at heart, she unwinds by being a cuddly couch buddy, emptying her toy box in search of chew toys and squeakers. Millie is smart and eager to please; she’s house-trained and even rings a bell when she needs to go outside! Millie knows commands like sit and high five, but her new family should be ready to reinforce positive behaviors, especially regarding her playful mouthing during exciting moments. Spayed, microchipped, and current on vaccines, Millie also has a sensitive stomach supported by probiotics. Will you be the loving family ready to welcome this adventurous and affectionate dog into your life? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
