Meet Millie
My name is Amelia (named after Amelia Earhart), but my foster family calls me Millie.
I’m a 1 1/2 year old Great Pyrenees who loves everyone I meet. I’m equal parts silly and sassy - I love attention and will squeeze my way in if my foster brother is getting pet (thankfully he likes me).

I walk great on a leash and am a celebrity in the neighborhood - everyone wants to talk to me and pet me. Birds and squirrels are super interesting, but my foster family tells me to “leave it” and I listen pretty well because I want to make them happy.

I sleep in a crate at night and crate when no one is home because I’m still kind of a puppy and very curious about everything. When my foster family catches me doing something I’m not supposed to, I correct pretty easily.

When I first came to the rescue, I had a LOT of mats in my fur, so I had to get a pretty short haircut. My foster family has been brushing me since then and it feels really good, but I will grab their arm with my mouth when I’ve had enough. I don’t bite down so it doesn’t hurt them, but since I don’t have opposable thumbs I can’t grab their arm with my paw. My coat is already growing out and will be back to where it should be in no time at all!

I’m learning what toys are - my platypus, snake and braided rope are my current favorites. My foster brother is a little older, so he doesn’t play but I’m pretty good at amusing myself.
