Meet Miller, Your New Adventure Buddy!
Miller is a young, large breed mix with a big love for the outdoors and an even bigger heart. He's looking for an active home where he can go on long walks, explore, and spend time with his people. He's a talker and loves to "chat," especially when he's excited. Miller is still learning his basics, such as leash manners, sit, and not jumping up. But he's eager to learn and thrives with consistent guidance. If you're looking for a fun, energetic companion who's always up for an adventure, Miller might just be your perfect match!
***Miller has a discounted adoption fee to help them find their forever home! Please note that all applicants must still follow our standard adoption process and meet this pet's specific requirements in order to be approved for adoption***
