About Millie

Meet Millie, a 1-year-old, 6-pound Yorkie mix with a heart full of love and some special needs. This sweet girl craves companionship and adores snuggling. If you're searching for a tiny best friend eager to cuddle in your lap, Millie could be the perfect match for you. Millie faces some health challenges that her future family will need to manage. She has an open fontanelle and neurological issues affecting her coordination, which also impacts her vision due to a lack of a blink reflex in her left eye. To ensure her safety, a home without young children is recommended. Millie also struggles with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and requires a special diet for life, involving ongoing costs of around $250 per month for food and medications. This little pup came to us pad trained and requires regular grooming to keep her healthy coat maintained. A calm and loving home would be ideal for Millie, and she could thrive alongside another well-behaved small dog or cat, pending a meet-and-greet to ensure compatibility. Millie has been in foster care since June, and any meet-and-greets must be scheduled by appointment. Despite her medical needs, Millie deserves a fulfilling life, filled with love and comfort. She's simply seeking a family that understands her unique situation and can offer the extra patience and care she requires. If you have room in your heart and on your couch for Millie, she’s ready to meet you! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
