About Mylo

Mylo is a classic young Jack Russell Terrier — playful, full of energy, and never content to just lounge around. He has a big appetite for activity and will thrive in a home where someone can really keep up with his enthusiasm for play and engagement. Mylo is still working on some basics like leash manners and remembering not to jump when he’s excited, but he’s highly treat-motivated, which makes teaching new commands easier. Show him a treat and he’ll sit politely, not snatching, just waiting for his reward. He’s a friendly, social dog with other dogs and loves to initiate play. Chasing toys and playing fetch are some of his favorite activities, and he’s in the process of learning how to bring the toy back every time. High prey drive comes with the package, so a cat-free home is a must. Mylo is eager to connect and makes every day lively and entertaining. As a Sagittarius, he brings a spirited and adventurous energy to any environment. Ready to bring Mylo home to Sarasota, FL? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
