Story
Millie is a very sweet girl who is also a very interesting-looking doggo. Her black mouth paired with her soulful eyes makes her look sad, but she's extremely energetic and loves playing with other dogs. She is surprisingly stout, looking like she has some corgi-cross in her genetic makeup. At 25lbs and 11 months old, she probably won't get much bigger, making her a good lap dog but not small enough to need to worry about predators carrying her away. We don't have any bad dogs here at TCAS, but she is definitely one of the better ones. Come give this good girl her new furever home.
