About Millie

Millie is a delightful 60 lb. black lab mix known for her friendly and silly personality. She loves everyone she meets, including children, and has always been gentle with people of all ages. Rescued from rural Mexico with one of her puppies, she’s looking for a new home after facing challenges with her daughter. Millie is full of affection and brings a lot of joy to those around her. This active girl enjoys playing and running, making her the perfect companion for beach days or trail adventures. While she requires a leash during walks, with some training, she could thrive off-leash in suitable parks. A natural guard, she will alert you to any signs of danger, providing protection when needed. Though Millie has a preference for male dogs, she can be choosy about her female friends and tends to dislike golden retrievers, possibly because of a past incident. Thus, an ideal home for her would be as the only dog. Also, she has a prey drive, so small animals like cats and gerbils are not a good match. Currently located in San Francisco, California, Millie is ready to steal your heart. She’s not altered and is not up to date on vaccinations yet, so her adoption fee is waived. Thoughtful recommendations to potential new homes would be greatly appreciated. Starting your journey with Millie could lead to a beautiful friendship. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
