My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Millie is an 8 year old Aussie looking for a home without small children. She is currently boarding with a trainer.



The Good:



Millie has good obedience skills and is a pro at fun tricks.



She has an incredible food and toy drive and would be a lot of fun in agility, nose work, etc.



She is very sweet and affectionate once she forms a bond with you, which only takes a few minutes if you bring food or toys.



She loves water and her perfect home would take her swimming-pools, rivers, lakes, beach-she loves them all!



Millie is in great health, has been part of her current family since she was a puppy, and is spayed and up-to-date on vaccinations.



The Bad:



No young children, please! Possibly older dog savvy kids would be ok.



Millie had a bite history with a handler which will be fully discussed with a potential adopter (once in 8 years).



Millie may exhibit stranger danger, but she's perfectly fine with appropriate introductions. She simply doesn’t appreciate being pressured by strangers but if they have food, she’ll make an exception. This is generally only an issue inside her home, but once introduced properly she’s fine.



From her owners: "We've made the tough decision to find a new loving home for Millie after over 8 years of companionship. Our growing family, with a 1-year-old and another on the way, isn't compatible with Millie's needs. Both our vet and professional trainers support this decision. Our top priority is to secure the best possible environment for Millie.”
