About Milkshake

Milkshake is a 10-month-old Lab/Pittie mix with a soft spot for snuggling and a heart that’s bounced back from tough beginnings. Rescued from the Stanislaus shelter’s euthanasia list, she brings a “second chance” spirit into every room. She melts into laps, trots around with her cherished soft toys, and never misses an opportunity for affection. She does great with other big dogs, isn’t fazed by puppies, and keeps quiet—never barking just to hear herself. Out on walks, she’s calm and well mannered. Milkshake’s gentle and playful personality makes her easy to love, whether you’re looking for someone to curl up beside you or a little partner to parade around the block. She’s consistently charmed everyone she’s met—including children aged 8 and up. Her vaccinations are current, and her spay is scheduled for June 1st. If you want a loyal, lovable companion who brightens up your home, Milkshake is ready to move in and start her new chapter. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
