About Milo

Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin! Meet Milo. Milo has returned to the shelter, ready for another chance to find his forever home. Through his experiences in a previous home, Milo discovered that he likes being the king of the castle—preferring to be the only animal and soaking up all of his human's attention.

Some days he’ll curl up in your lap, while other days, a good cheek scratch is just perfect. Milo is an enthusiastic player who loves laser pointers, fishing rod toys, and chasing balls—keeping him busy is key to preventing boredom chewing. He’ll thrive with a person or family who’s home much of the day, offering companionship and lots of engagement. If you enjoy cozy days at home with a furry companion, Milo could be just the friend you’ve been searching for. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
