About Milo

Milo is a bright, affectionate puppy who turns heads with his striking looks and lively spirit. Found as a stray in San Antonio, Milo landed in a foster home where he quickly picked up leash manners, crate training, and confidence being around children and other dogs. He’s got a smart, eager-to-learn personality—with some herding dog traits, including the classic double dew claws seen in breeds like Great Pyrenees. Milo enjoys both people and the company of canine pals, and he adapts well to busy households with young kids. His foster family in the DC area reports that he sleeps well in his crate and is progressing quickly with training. He’s still young at five months old, and would do best with a yard to explore and an adopter ready to engage with him as he grows. Another dog in the home to roughhouse with is a plus, but what Milo really needs is time and attention from his humans. If you’re looking for a friendly, sharp puppy who’s already learning the ropes, Milo could be the one. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
