Mila is an adorable 11-month-old, 12-lb dachshund who is sweet, playful and incredibly affectionate with the people she trusts. She loves her foster family, enjoys her foster sister and is happiest running around in the grass. 💕
Mila is also a nervous girl who needs a special kind of home. New people, unfamiliar dogs and situations where she feels frightened or cornered can trigger a strong defensive response. When overwhelmed, she may bark, lunge, snap or use her mouth to create space.
Mila needs a calm, predictable home with a patient, experienced adopter who understands fearful/reactive dogs and is willing to continue working on her confidence. Introductions to new people and dogs will need to be slow and thoughtful, and her boundaries need to be respected.
She can do well with a calm, non-reactive dog after proper introductions. Because of her fear-based reactions, a home without young children is best. A securely fenced yard would be a huge bonus—Mila LOVES her grass! 🌱
Underneath her fear is a funny, loving little dog who bonds deeply with her people. ❤️ She just needs someone willing to give her the structure, patience and training she needs to feel safe.
