Introducing the very sweet, scruffy and unique little Millie 🥰 Who is ready to find a special furever home 💙

Hi there 🙋‍♀️
I'm Millie, a small but mighty, scruffy but cute Maltese cross 😁 I'm four years old and ready to move in with a family who will provide me with all their love 🥰

I can be a great new best friend for those in need of company because once I'm over my anxiety I'm quite cuddly 😍

I would do anything to have a treat or reward and tummy rubs, making me easy to train/win over ;) I would say I’m a people-dog. I love to cuddle with my human foster sibling (age 17) who is also great company. And I really love having my own bed, just for me! A warm, comfy bed to wind down and have "me time" is so nice. I do like sleeping a lot so a relaxing lifestyle sounds great but a family that will play with me and go on small walks would be terrific too! ☺

Preferably, if you could be home more often than away, that would be much appreciated 💖

I currently live with 2 foster friends: A Greyhound who likes to sleep all day even though l want to play and a Tenterfield Terrier. They are amazing when it comes to learning new things and showing me that not everything is scary 😊 My Greyhound friend helps me calm down, whereas the Tenterfield Terrier is fun to play with and likes to show me around the garden, exploring and doing zoomies. I’m not a super fan of toys and I don’t chew up your shoes, however, if you leave a sock or hair scrunchie lying around, it may move to a different location ;) I would love doggy friends in my new home, but they must be well adjusted, confident doggos. If they were nervous or had anxiety too, it would make mine worse :(

I'm quite intelligent and it really doesn't take me long to learn! I am a special girl with anxiety, when things are scary or my "safe space" on my bed is invaded I do retaliate with a warning growl or bite. Unfortunately I can't use words like humans, this is how I communicate 💙 I am so grateful my foster humans have worked out what works best for me, they no longer come to me for cuddles or pats, I get to go to them when I want them. I DO NOT like to be picked up, so please don't treat me like a teddy bear, im not one 😊

My furever family would need to be willing to set up my safe space, which is my bed, in the general living area for me to have access to 24/7 ☺ This space helps me feel secure and relaxed. My humans are verrrry slowly introducing the crate to me, but it's a slow process as it scares me a little. I need a furever family who are willing to continue my training by setting clear boundaries for me so I don't feel like I have to protect things like the couch etc.. 😊 It will really help me stress a little less 💖
