About Milo

Milo is a calm, friendly hound who’s looking for a new home because his people need to move and can’t bring him along—no fault of his own. Social with both small and large dogs, Milo enjoys playful interactions but often prefers a relaxed stroll around town or lounging in the backyard. He’s easy to walk on leash and content in the company of friendly dogs, yet remains mellow and unbothered by chaos. Though Milo has spent much of his life crated, he’s never been destructive and doesn’t need to be confined for long periods. A fenced yard where he can nap in the shade and explore at his own pace would suit him well. Inside, he’s housebroken, up to date on vaccinations, neutered, and knows the basics of obedience. Milo is happiest when someone takes the time to include him and make him feel like part of the family. He’s ready to leave behind his sheltered start for a life with more adventure and affection.
