Milo has packed a lot into just a year and a half. Life hasn’t been easy—he’s faced homelessness, gone hungry, and bounced through two shelters and more than a couple temporary homes. It’s never been his fault. People haven’t taken the time to understand him, and that’s a real loss, because Milo could be a superstar with the right people. He’s honestly a genius; you can see the wheels turning behind those eyes. If Milo had thumbs, he’d give people a run for their money at Mensa. On top of his brains, he’s a total sweetheart—a big softie who loves snuggling and is happiest right by your side. The comedy in this dog is wild, too; give him a minute and he’ll have everybody laughing. Milo’s naturally athletic, too. He would thrive with someone who wants a hiking, running, and all-around-adventure sidekick. Car rides? He’s your co-pilot. He won’t mind if you drive coast to coast. Where Milo struggles is confinement. Kennel environments stress him out and make him vocal from fear. He needs freedom to move, think, and burn energy, ideally with a home that really understands smart, working-breed behavior. An active home with a secure yard and a dog door would suit him perfectly. He adores people, but because he’s such a big, boisterous presence, he’s better matched to homes without little kids. Milo is looking for folks who want to bring a sweet, clever, and hilarious dog into every corner of their lives—especially the wild corners. This boy is ready for his forever.
