Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Sometimes the world of dogs parallels the world of humans. Case in point; we bi-peds say “opposites attract.” It would appear some dogs have the same idea. What happens when canine opposites attract? Pure magic. Meet magical Mille. Millie is a Pyr/Greyhound mix, which means she’s a lot like a swig of Benadryl with a Red Bull chaser. Which means she is very playful, yet she is very willing to lounge around the house after excercise.
Millie is 4 years old, so while she’s largely past the heathen stage, she is still 70 pounds of playful. She is perfectly crate trained and loves humans of all types and sizes. She is very good with children of all age. Keeping with her quieter side, we note that Millie is an accomplished snuggler who is more than happy to drape her svelte self across a lap (or two) (or three) and just chill. It’s the kind of chill that will probably make you feel guilty for getting up when nature calls.
Not surprisingly, long-legged, lean Millie is in demand socially. She’s a regular at the dog park and loves other dogs. As it happens, she socializes best with the big dogs--which is not to say she doesn’t love small dogs. She does, but more in the way her Greyhound forbears might have loved rabbits. Going around a track. Really fast. The same could be said of her affinity for cats. That being the case, cats and small dogs need not apply. She also has a strong affinity for swimming, so if you like to hike a long trail to find a waterfall at the end, Millie is your girl.
Not just all Benadryl and Red Bull, Millie is very intelligent. She already understands some voice commands and is likely to eavesdrop on your conversations. While she’d probably prefer her own bedroom and bathroom, she’s also happy to “go” outside, and snooze in her crate. She’s easy to get along with like that.
Millie would love a forever home with an active cat-free family. If you’re an active family who is a little short on Benadryl, Red Bull and eavesdropping dogs, Millie is ready to come home. Please contact Liz@bigfluffydogs.com for more info.
If you are interested in adopting this dog, please apply online, at http://www.bigfluffydogs.com/online-app.php. Our main website, www.bigfluffydogs.com has more information about us and the rescue process. NOTE TO EMAILERS FROM ADOPT-A-PET: WE DO NOT RESPOND TO EMAIL INQUIRIES WITHOUT AN APPLICATION. WE REGRET WE CANNOT RESPOND TO EVERY EMAIL, BUT UNLESS YOU FILL OUT AN APPLICATION, WE DO NOT KNOW YOU EXIST. All known information about an individual dog is provided in it's listing. We do our best to provide accurate information, but adopters must understand that each home is different and the dog may behave differently in a new home. Dogs are creatures of their environment and you help make the dog what it will be. Homes considering adopting a puppy must be prepared for:1.) Flexible schedules for potty training. Puppies can only "hold it" for one hour per month of age (ex. a 4 month old puppy can only go 4 hours without a potty break).2.) Crate training until the puppy is at least one year old, to prevent chewing on inappropriate things when you can't supervise.3.) Socialization: The more positive and varying experiences as a puppy the better, both in and out of your home.4.) Puppy behavior and life stages are equivalent to a human toddler. It takes at least a full year to have a calmer, well adjusted dog. Patience is required and when your dog's behavior is a positive experience for you and those around you, your patience will be rewarded tenfold, for years to come.Please do not consider adopting a puppy if you have not thoroughly thought through the pros and cons of having one. So many people end up returning them after 3-5 months because they didn't realize the amount of work involved in raising a puppy.Patience, appropriate toys, socialization, and obedience training are all musts. All are time consuming, and can be expensive.All Dogs Require:Supervision with children and obedience training. Adopters that want to have good dogs must be prepared to put the time and effort into training a dog. Any dog requires work and effort, but a well trained, well socialized dog is more than worth the effort put in to get them there.
