Meet Mila!
Mila is a spirited, almost five-year-old Labrador Retriever/Australian Cattle Dog mix with a lively blend of strength, loyalty, and reddish-brown charm with white accents. She's an athletic girl who thrives on movement, whether she's racing after a ball, trotting beside her person on a run, or exploring wooded trails. At home, Mila shows her softer side as an affectionate companion who enjoys relaxing close to her people and even sharing a cozy spot in bed. She is crate-trained, house-trained, and proudly responds to a long list of commands and fun tricks. Car rides, snuffle mats, and daily routines bring her joy and comfort, and she lights up when given both structure and the occasional surprise adventure. Mila is wonderfully compatible with cats and has shown calm, respectful behavior around chickens and ducks, making her a unique companion for a mixed-animal environment. She forms strong bonds with familiar people and brings a delightful quirk to daily life, including her charming one-sided snarly smile that appears during her most relaxed, happy moments.
Ideal Home
Mila would do well in a structured, experienced home where she can be the only dog. An active individual or couple who can provide daily outlets like running, hiking, and plenty of fetch would be ideal. A home without young children and with a calm, predictable environment will help her feel secure.
Ongoing Health
No specific health conditions are mentioned in the listing.
Training & Support
Mila is crate-trained, house-trained, and knows many commands and tricks. She does experience intermittent dog-directed reactivity, where moments of tension can escalate, often linked to anxiety or resource guarding. On leash, she is manageable but requires a vigilant handler around other dogs. With consistent routines and positive reinforcement, Mila shows a real ability to navigate social situations more comfortably.
