Meet Millie, a 2-year-old Belgian Malinois who might surprise you if you’re familiar with the breed!

Let’s address the Malinois in the room: Millie is not your typical Maligator. She absolutely has energy and loves to play, but on the Malinois scale of chaos, she’s surprisingly low on the crackhead spectrum.

Millie is incredibly sweet, smart, loyal, playful, and devoted to her person. She loves forming a strong bond with her human and has that wonderful Malinois desire to be close, connected, and involved. She’s also protective of the people she loves.

And then there are the ears. When those pointy ears go back, Millie transforms into the cutest little fruit bat you’ve ever seen.

She’s an all-around wonderful dog who gives you so many of the things people love about the breed: Intelligence, loyalty, athleticism, and that incredible bond, without being quite as intensely “GO GO GO” as you might expect.

One important note: Millie has a chicken allergy, so she’ll need a chicken-free diet and treats.

If you’re looking for a smart, loyal best friend who’s equal parts Malinois, sweetheart, and occasional fruit bat, Millie might just be your girl.
