✨ Introducing the wonderful Milo! This charming German Shepherd has had quite the adventure in life. Coming from a ranch where he shared his days with horses, chickens, sheep, and other furry friends, Milo is now on the lookout for his forever home after his previous guardian made the tough choice to downsize to an apartment. When he first arrived at the shelter, Milo needed a few days to settle in, and guess what? This big guy has a heart as big as his paws! After some time to decompress, he opened up and is now a social butterfly! 🦋 Milo has met some canine pals since his arrival and done exceptionally well. With a wise approach, another dog buddy might just be the perfect fit, pending a meet-and-greet at the shelter and a thoughtful intro at home. While Milo has mostly lived outdoors, he’s ready and excited to join a family that appreciates those golden rays of sunshine just as much as he does. Picture this: Milo lounging outside on a beautiful sunny day, soaking up the warmth while keeping his new family company. 🌞 But wait, there’s more! In an incredible gesture, the Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter Foundation is offering “Pawsitivity Bucks” with every dog adoption! That’s right! You receive a $200 training voucher to connect with local positive reinforcement trainers and get your relationship with Milo off to a majestic start. **IMPORTANT:** Remember, Milo will need you to apply through the Buddy App for the adoption process. Don't forget, potential adopters must meet Milo in person to ensure that all is well before he trots off to his new home! While visiting the shelter, please arrive before 4:00 PM if you want to meet him out of his kennel. Let’s get Milo home, where he belongs! 🏡
