My story

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

*Please call ahead to set up a meet and greet*

Miller is a 4-year-old yellow Lab and pit bull mix with a big personality and even bigger dance moves — we call him Tippy Tap because he does the happiest little dance when he gets excited!
He’s goofy, strong, and full of energy. While Miller didn’t get along with the other dogs in his previous home, he may do well with a dog who matched his playful vibe — so a meet and greet could be a great idea if you’ve got the right pup. He has shown food aggression with other dogs, but never with people.
Miller is currently learning boundaries. When toys are involved, he can get a little rude — not out of aggression, but out of sheer enthusiasm. During his evaluation, we saw no signs of aggression; he’s just a big, silly boy who needs support in learning manners. He’s the kind of dog who barrels into you for love and doesn’t quite realize how big he is.
He walks best on a prong collar due to his strength, and he’ll thrive with someone who can give him structure, guidance, and plenty of fun. Miller is a joyful, affectionate guy who just needs the right match to help him shine.
