About Milo

Meet Milo, a charming little shepherd mix with a playful spirit! Despite his small frame, he embodies a youthful energy that keeps his foster family on their toes. Being just a puppy, he’s still learning the ropes, which includes a few playful nibbles. For homes with children, it’s best they are 13 or older to help him navigate his teething phase. Milo can be timid at first, taking time to warm up to new faces, but once he’s comfortable, he’s all puppy joy and excitement. He loves games like tug-o-war and is getting the hang of fetch, often remembering to bring the ball back. Playtime with sturdy plush toys excites him, and he’s even learned gentle play from his older canine companions. Although he barks at cats in a playful manner, he’s learned to give them space, and with patience, could become friends with them. Milo is crate-trained and sleeps soundly at night, though he's still mastering his potty training and needs regular breaks outside. He currently weighs 22 lbs and is expected to grow between 40-50 lbs as he matures. Milo cuddles with his favorite toy, Brown Dog, every night and rises ready for fun by 6 am. This playful pup is looking for a special home that can continue his training and provide endless love. Your new best friend awaits!
