Lil Milo was rescued with his brother Otis after spending his first few weeks at an animal control facility. These sweet siblings grew up side by side until their foster could only keep one, so Milo moved to K9 Fairytale boarding and day care, where he continues to blossom each day. At a year and seven months old, Milo has developed a loyal spirit and is gradually gaining confidence around new situations. He gets along well with other dogs, especially those larger than himself, as he tends to feel safest in their company. Milo thrives with gentle encouragement and would be best placed in a home with dogs over 50 lbs, given his lingering guarding insecurities.
