About Milo

Milo and his sister Bonny are a bonded pair with a full-throttle approach to fun and connection. At six years old, Milo is energetic, eager to play fetch, and always ready to greet you (and just about anyone else) with contagious excitement. Bonny hangs back at first, but once she's comfortable, she jumps into the action, chasing after her brother and keeping up with his antics. Both do best in a home with a fenced yard for high-speed chases and plenty of space for Milo's legendary ball sessions. Milo gets along with dogs—especially smaller ones—and truly needs a companion dog (Bonny is non-negotiable, and they're only being placed together). He's also good with cats, does well with older or considerate children, and is fully house trained. While they can be vocal and enthusiastic greeters, they're wonderful free roamers (though like many duos, they're not above a little counter surfing). Milo and Bonny don't share walls well, so a single-family setup suits them best. They're happiest in a home where someone appreciates their high spirits and active nature. If you're searching for twice the heart, laughs, and entertainment, this pair is waiting in Crystal, MN. Start your journey together! Apply now.
