Millie

Millie is an adorable little 5 yr old (3/7/19) smooth red dachshund (with possibly a tiny bit of chihuahua mixed in there.) Millie is a sweet, shy little girl. She came from a commercial breeding facility, and is still pretty uncomfortable around people. Millie is looking for a very patient person that will give her the time and space to allow her to learn to trust and take things at her own pace. Your patience will be rewarded by the cutest little wiggly butt and a lifetime companion. Millie will need a small resident dog to model appropriate behavior and for companionship. She is the happiest and most relaxed in the company of her dachshund foster brothers, but she has been around a bigger dog and is fine with him. She will do best in a fairly calm, quiet home. Millie flattens herself to the ground or runs when you try to pick her up. Since she is still skittish and nervous around people, no small kids. Millie's little tail is broken. Our vet said there's nothing that can be done with it. It doesn't hurt her, and it still wags just fine. We think it adds to her cute little wiggly butt when she's excited. Millie really shows off her wiggly little tail when it's time to eat. She loves mealtimes! She eats in her kennel as it is her safe space. She will run and jump in her kennel when you are making her food and excitedly wait for you to bring her dinner. Millie is kennel trained and is doing well with potty training as long as you take her out regularly. Millie enjoys being pushed around in the stroller and has just started walking on a leash a bit. She's discovering that it's fun to walk with the other dogs and get to sniff all the new smells. Since she isn't leash trained yet and is still very skittish, she will need a securely fenced yard for her safety.
