Story
**Good with other dogs • Food motivated • Untested with cats and children**
Meet Mille (also known as Millenaire, Millicent, or Hill Mille), the tiniest, sweetest, and most nervous little pup you’ll ever meet. While she’s still learning to trust, Mille is making brave strides every day. She’s becoming more comfortable approaching her foster family, especially when treats are involved, but she’s still cautious and needs a lot of patience and understanding.
Mille tends to shake when there’s sudden movement or loud noises, and she can get frightened easily, but she’s slowly learning what love and comfort feel like. We’ve seen a positive change recently as her tail has started to lift, a sign that she’s becoming more confident and less fearful.
She’s eating and drinking well and has been doing great with her potty training! Mille uses both potty pads and goes outside on the grass, although she still has occasional accidents. With some patience and redirection, she’s improving every day.
Mille sleeps peacefully in her crate, which she prefers for safety and comfort. She has a cozy blanket and plush bed inside, and when her foster family steps out, she curls up and rests. She’s an independent girl and can be left alone without any separation anxiety. While she’s nervous around new people and still has sensitivities around her paws, Mille is never aggressive. She’s shown no signs of resource guarding and is very good with her foster dog sibling, even though she’s cautious about playtime.
This sweet little girl is slowly opening up, eating treats from your hand with patience and thawing out her mistrust of humans. She may freeze up when she’s nervous, but with time, Mille is starting to trust more and more.
Mille would do best in a calm, understanding home with a dog friend (perhaps a littermate or a familiar companion) to help her feel more comfortable and encourage her to come out of her shell. She’s tiny but mighty, and with the right environment, she’ll continue to blossom into the brave, loving dog we know she’s meant to be.
