About Milo

Milo landed at the shelter as a stray, nursing an injured front leg that left him limping. After a thorough medical workup, he was diagnosed with fungal osteomyelitis—a bone infection that will need a long course of daily medication and regular vet checkups. The good news: Milo takes his treatment like a champ, stays upbeat, and isn’t bothered by his diagnosis. He's vaccinated, neutered, microchipped, and tested negative for heartworm. Milo weighs in at 51 pounds, is housebroken, and keeps his space remarkably clean. He gets along with other dogs, has a relaxed, quiet personality, and loves to nap when he’s not outside. Despite his injury, he can run with the best of them when he wants to. If you’re looking for a friendly, resilient dog who’ll need some medical support but gives back plenty of affection, Milo's waiting in Stillwater, OK. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
