About Millie (NC)

Sweet, spunky, and always ready for a little attention, Millie is a lovable 14-lb. companion who's happiest soaking up sunshine, enjoying leisurely walks, and spending time with her people. At around 8 or 9 years-old, she still has plenty of youthful spirit and so much love to give. When Millie first arrived, she was battling a severe case of pneumonia. Despite everything she endured, she showed incredible resilience, and once she recovered, her affectionate, fun-loving personality truly began to shine. In her foster home, Millie gets along wonderfully with other dogs and will even join in for a little playtime when the mood strikes. She's easygoing and tolerant but isn't afraid to let another dog know when they've crossed a boundary with a gentle grumble. She's fully house-trained and crate-trained. She's also proven to be an excellent travel companion, happily joining her foster family on several RV camping trips and taking the adventure in stride. One of her most endearing habits is magically appearing whenever someone is handing out pets—she always makes sure she's first in line for affection! While she's not a fan of cold weather, Millie loves basking in the sunshine and spending time outdoors. She has a moderate energy level, enjoys chewing bones daily, and likes greeting neighbors, both human and canine, with a few friendly barks from the yard. Millie is full of love, personality, and just the right amount of sass. She's ready to find a family who will embrace her medical needs and give her the forever home she so deserves. In return, she'll reward them with endless affection, loyal companionship, and plenty of smiles.

Ongoing Health

Millie has been diagnosed with chronic bronchitis, but with proper management she enjoys a happy, active, and very normal life. She uses an inhaler twice a day to help control her cough, which is usually most noticeable in the mornings. Excitement or strenuous activity can also bring on a coughing spell. Her medication costs approximately $100 per month, though pricing may vary by location.
