Meet Milo, a FLAT COATED RETRIEVER/GOLDEN RETRIEVER With his petite face & wavy ears, everybody melts when they meet him! Milo has a sweet and calm demeanor and spent his early weeks cozied up on laps for hours of naps. His battimes are as peaceful as can be! He is one of the smaller ones of his litter and often needs his own private little food bowl since his siblings would squeeze him out of the group bowl. Milo was known as "Green" upon birth when he was given a green collar and this sweet little darling has a remarkable story we can't wait to share with you BORN IN RESCUE! What does that mean? A local family had the exciting experience of assisting with a homebirth of this litter on 3/31/26. Why is that awesome? We know a definite date of birth and that this pup was handled with loving care from the moment of being born. Every bath, every playful interaction, every moment has known safety and has been raised with gentle and respectful older children. All 6 siblings were kept together for important bonding, learning bite control during play, and were nursed naturally by their gentle giant of a momma for a full 6 weeks. They received the very best nutrition and start in life which is such an advantage over many of the puppies out there today. All the pups in the litter were born darker in color which came as a surprise as the momma is the sweetest Golden Retriever on the planet! [Dad is of unknown breed, so we use our best guess.] If you are interested in adopting/meeting this pup , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: https://www.starfishanimalrescue.com/adopt/dog-adoption-application .
