Millie is finally all filled out at 80 pounds. Because of being used as a breeding dog all her short life she still carries the baggage of excess nipples hanging. They look better than before and have dried up completely but some people are put off by this and can't deal with it. Millie loves people and absolutely loves other dogs. She has been fostered with a 210 pound male St.Bernard, 80 pound Boxer/Mastiff female, 30 pound Pug mix, 50 pound Corgi/Spaniel mix and is wonderful with all of them. She has had to learn to play because she had no idea of how to do it before. Millie loves squeaky toys! She was also (sometimes still is) leery of people running to her (to fawn over her) and will lay down or hide her head, never has she shown any aggression towards people or even other dogs.
Millie's house breaking skills have been tough due to her living outside to only be a breeder for people to make money off her pups. She will bark to let you know she needs to go out but if you are not there she will not wait. We kennel/crate her to avoid these mishaps when we are gone. She is potty pad trained due to being confined for 6 weeks to recuperate from heart worm treatment. She walks well on a leash but is timid about new things such as getting into a car for a ride. More time & rides out would solve this. Millie is timid about new things happening around her but adjusts when you talk to her gently. She wants to please you and needs a family to keep working with her on all skills.
Millie kennel/crate trained.....meaning no accidents in crate , will bark to be let outside of crate to go potty, only barks in crate for this or if she hears a strange noise outside. Millie also has her tongue sticking out all the time because of her underbite.....it does not slow her down on eating dry food though!
Millie is in need of a new foster home because she is going to our private boarding facility so the foster she has now can take care of another dog that needs time to recuperate. If you are interested, please visit our website for a Foster application.
Can you help Millie? Even $5 will help and every dollar raised will go to support Millie!
Thank you for reading Millie's story…we appreciate your time!
