Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Sweet mama Millie is approx 3-4yrs old and weighs 24lbs. She was originally discarded in some California foothills, along with a similar size male dog. She was very scared and would not come to anyone that was trying to help her. When they were finally trapped, they found that she was extremely pregnant! Just 3 days later, she gave birth to 9 puppies! They all survived and are now happy, healthy puppies that have found their forever homes, so now it’s Millie’s turn! She is a very gentle tempered girl that was wonderful with her puppies, and she’s equally gentle and sweet with people. She is a bit of a timid girl so an easy going home for her is required. Since she’s been so busy for this last few months, she hasn’t had a lot of training, but she’s very smart and very eager to please her person so now that the attention is on her, she’ll learn more basics and leash manners in no time. Millie is a very quiet girl so with a little more socialization and exposure to this big world, she will be an excellent office dog companion. Since she is crate trained, she can also be left home alone for up to 6hr intervals. She gets along wonderful with other dogs of all sizes, but she does not need a doggie playmate in the home. She gets along great with the kitties, too. Millie is learning to explore outside in a safe environment so she will do best with a fenced yard.
