About Milo

Milo draws attention with his striking white coat and regal presence, but it's his goofy personality that steals the show. Still a young guy at around a year old, Milo weighs in at 60 pounds and is built for both play and adventure. He's an energetic companion who lives for playtime and thrives in group settings. Milo's a natural with both dogs and children, always ready for a romp or a round of fetch, and he loves showing off his silly side. His adventurous spirit is balanced with a real affection for people; cuddling is just as important to him as playing. Milo’s in the middle of learning the ropes with house, crate, and leash training, so he'll do best with an adopter who's ready to provide consistency and a structured routine. He hasn’t spent time with cats since entering rescue, so it's not clear how he’d do with them. If you're looking for a playful, affectionate, and social large-breed dog who hasn’t lost his puppy spark, Milo is ready to meet you. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
