Millie

Millie is a sweet affectionate but high energy girl, who needs time to get to know you. She needs a very experienced owner. She will bark at strangers especially near doorways. We have found Millie is good to groom with an experienced groomer and no muzzle is needed. She falls asleep on the grooming table! She loves her baths in the hydro bath now. Millie is looking for a quite adult home with only few visitors. The quieter the household, the calmer Millie is. She needs to be introduced to visitors a few times. She is fast through doorways. She would also do well with another active small doggy pal to play with. She is very social with other small dogs and she walks well on lead. For her breed she is incredibly active and bouncy. She likes to sleep on furniture, a bit like a cat, rather than on the ground in a bed. She loves toys to play with and enjoys attention and affection from people she trusts. She is in that teenage stage so she can be quite chewy. She has a low-shedding coat and weighs 7.9kg.

She was apparently given to a gentleman on a walker at 6 weeks of age.  She was used to being locked in a bathroom daily without any socialization, engagement or training. His grandkids scalded her when giving her first bath so she was terrified of baths. She used to always jump up a doorhandle in the bathroom and this behaviour has continued on doors. She does not trust people easily and barks at new people and any noise she heard. By 8 months of age, she was given up. A compassionate person who knew of her, took Millie into her family but soon found that Millie could not cope with usual domestic sounds in a busy household with older kids.
