About Milo

Milo is a 7-year-old Basset Hound/American Staffordshire Terrier mix with a face that's hard to resist and a calm, soulful energy. He’s a mellow, low-key companion who prefers to relax quietly and stay close—he doesn’t bark much, just enjoys the company of his people. Milo really shines on a leash, happily joining you for gentle walks without pulling or fuss. He gets along well with other dogs, is cat friendly, and has a gentle, steady temperament that makes him a great fit for families with kids. Just a heads-up: while he's social, Milo does resource guard his food, so he’ll need to be fed separately if there are other pets around. He’s unfazed by the chaos of puppies now, focusing instead on simple pleasures—soaking up affection, lounging at your feet, and being quietly loyal. If you want a companion who’s past the busy puppy stage and would thrive in a calm, loving home, Milo could be exactly who you’ve been waiting for. Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin!
