Meet Mila!
Mila is a spirited, almost five-year-old Labrador Retriever/Australian Cattle Dog mix. 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's crate-trained, house-trained, and responds to commands like sit, stay, lay down, speak, and fun tricks like spinning or weaving through legs! Car rides, snuffle mats, and daily routines bring her joy and comfort. Mila is wonderfully compatible with cats and has shown calm, respectful behavior around chickens and ducks. 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 were mentioned in the listing.
Training & Support
Mila is house-trained and crate-trained. She knows many commands and tricks. She can be intermittently reactive towards other dogs, especially in her own space or when unfamiliar dogs enter her environment. This reactivity can sometimes escalate quickly and has resulted in physical engagement with other dogs, often linked to anxiety or resource guarding. On leash, she is manageable and responsive but requires a vigilant handler around other dogs. Consistent routines and positive reinforcement will support her continued growth and help her navigate social situations more comfortably.
