Story
Mildred was left behind in an empty house after her owner moved. Needless to say, she was starved for food and affection. She's a beautiful, smart pup, about 1.5 years old. One of her defining features is her long ears which point straight up and cross over her head...absolutely adorable! She'd make a great gal pal:) Mildred can understandably get a little territorial over her food, but she's a smart pup--one correction from her owner (I used a quick spray from a water bottle) is all it takes for her to correct her behavior. Mildred loves to run and play and is a huge cuddle bug. She's ready to crawl up into just about any lap for love and affection-- not realizing she's a little big for a lap dog:) Mildred plays really well with male dogs but can get a little testy around other females. She'd do best as an only dog or in a household with only male dogs.
