Story
Introducing Millie!
Affectionate Playful Energetic Initially Shy
Hi, I’m Millie! I’m a sweet and energetic Great Dane who’s learning how wonderful the world can be. I’m playful, affectionate, and love to zoom around the yard, but I also really enjoy cuddling up near my people for comfort and reassurance. I can be a little skittish and anxious, especially in new situations, but once I feel safe, my loving personality really shines.
I get along great with the big and small dogs in my foster home, and I’d love to have a doggie sibling in my forever family to play with and learn from. I haven’t met any cats yet, so slow introductions will be important. Because I have lots of energy and can be sensitive, I’d do best with kids over 10 or those experienced with large, active dogs. I really thrive when I’m close to my people and can get anxious if left alone for too long.
Likes & Dislikes:
Loves playing outside and going for walks
Enjoys eating tasty food and being around her people
Likes hanging out with other dogs
Dislikes going to the vet or feeling trapped
I’m crate trained and do best when I’m crated if I’m left home alone—I might get into trouble otherwise. I’m fully housebroken and doing better and better on a leash. I’m super food-motivated, so training is going well, and I love getting treats for learning something new! Like a lot of young dogs, I sometimes dig or chew things I shouldn’t if no one’s watching, but I’m eager to keep learning.
I came into rescue underweight, but I’ve been gaining strength and doing great thanks to good care and plenty of love. I’m in good health overall, but I do need sedation for nail trims and vet visits due to my anxiety.
Forever Home Wishlist:
A physical fence is required to help keep her safe during outdoor play
Any size yard is fine, as long as she gets her exercise
A family that is home more often than not (gone for 6 hours or less)
A patient home that understands and can work with anxiety
Another dog in the home would be a big plus
Not suitable for apartment living
Children, if any, should be 10+ or experienced with large dogs
Fun Fact: I may be a bit shy at first, but once I feel safe, I light up with joy. I’m learning to trust more every day—and with the right people, I’ll be your most loyal adventure buddy and snuggle partner.
