Millaii - Female German Shepherd Mix - 2 years old (Spayed/Current with Shots)

Millaii is about 2 years old, and such an easy-to-take-care-of gal.
Loves to sleep - She is always napping on a couch or a bed.
Loves to eat - Has a good appetite. No picky at all. Enjoys eating everything given.

Very loyal and affectionate. She diligently follows me everywhere I go, and after I have settled down at my destination, she drops and starts taking a nap right behind me.

Just like this

Millaii is modest. She doesn't ask for much. Actually doesn't ask for anything. Yet, when the door to the storage where dog treats are kept, her face brightens up and she looks very excited. Very cute.

Millaii LOVES CATS. This very important and needs to be noted.
She is always following my cats, especially the younger boy, Toby, who grew up with my dog Ginger. Toby is fearless, careless, and well...crazy.
Millaii loves Toby and they play together wrestling. Millaii tries to groom Toby every chance she gets, and it doesn't seem to bother him much.
I'm assuming the cats remind Millaii of her puppies (She had babies in around June). Her puppies were taken away from her shortly after she had had them, and according to the former owner, Millaii went crazy looking for them.

When Millaii is outside, she is glued to the fence where she can peek at stray cats through the cracks.
Or she visits neighbors who have cats, and patiently watches the cats staring at Millaii from the inside of their homes through the screen door.

Toby and Millaii became good friends

I think Millaii likes cats more than she likes dogs.
It's not that she doesn't get along with other dogs, She is fine with them, but she tries to be the boss over the others so the new owners may not like to see her trying to mount on their existing pet dog.

When we are outside, Millaii also likes chasing a ball these days. She takes it to the shady area and has fun chewing it.




She is getting better at catching the ball every day!

Millaii is loyal and quiet. She would be a perfect dog where she is the only dog in the house. If there are cats living in the house, that would be even better. She can house-sit quietly while waiting for her owner to come home.

Yes, Millaii is usually very quiet. She almost never barks at home. Only when she is out at a dog park or a beach, she barks at other stranger dogs that come near her. I think she may be protective of Anko, her adopted sister dog whom I am also fostering. She is very alert for the noises outside she can be a good watch dog too.

Important facts about Millaii

• Millaii is spayed and current with her shots.
• Millaii is house-broken. She can hold her bladder and bowel for a long time. NO accidents have I ever had with her since I got her on 9/1/2010 (of course you will have to let her go outside a few times a day. Doggy door will be perfect). 
• She doesn't have problematic habits like chewing or barking. She hasn't chewed anything in the house. She just naps to pass time.
• Millaii needs to be an indoor dog as she loves napping in the house so much
• Moderate shedding for a German Shepherd Dog

Please e-mail me if you are interested in Millaii, or have questions, or if you know of anybody who may be interested in her.

You can foster her for a few days to see if she is a good fit for your family. I will always take her back if you decided she is not the right pet for you.

Millaii and Anko - Newly rescued dogs

I rescued two dogs - Millaii and Anko at the beginning of September 2010.
They were abandoned by their former owner when he lost his home in foreclosure.
This guy had kept a few dogs in his backyard as guard dogs. He said he didn't trust banks so kept his cash and assets in his house and put dogs around the house.
I never personally knew him. He had posted an ad for his dogs on Craigslist (thanks to his last bit of kindness for the dogs) and I saw it.

The ad I saw was for Millaii. He for some reason only had Millaii in his ad, and not Anko.
The picture of Millaii resembled my dog Ginger so much, I couldn't just move on without contacting him.
On the phone the guy said the pound would come and collect the dogs in a day or two. He would have to evacuate soon too.
The pound in Riverside - where the impounded animals have only 3 days to live.
I wondered for a short while, and decided to come get the dogs otherwise - How would I be able to sleep at night if I didn't??

There were 54 miles from my house to his.
I took off after dropping of my kids at school on the following morning.

The dogs were both sweet - in the scorching hot, dry weather. Chained to the dog house in the middle of the big backyard. There was no toys or blankets around.
They were both female German Shepherd mix. Their original names - Lady and Princess.
Both young, Lady just before 2 years, and Princess about 6 months.
They were not fixed, and never given shots, or never even been walked.
The guy said Lady had just had babies about a month before. Her breasts were hanging low, still big and flabby.
He said he had found homes for the puppies.

The food and water were kept in big buckets by the dog house, and they looked like they had been sitting there for months.
The water had turned green and the dog food looked like rocks. I didn't even realize it was food at first.

I brought Lady (Millaii) home first. I didn't think I had room for two in my home.
I was going to find a foster home for Princess and come back and get her.
Well - it had turned out that dogs with no shots were almost impossible to find even foster homes.
I had to go back there 2 days later any way to get Princess so she would not be taken to the pound.

Without another prospective foster home, I ended up with two medium size, sweet and shy homeless dogs in my 3-bedroom townhome in Cypress.
