About Milo

Milo is a striking red long-haired mini Dachshund, known for his affectionate nature. At 6 years old and 12 pounds, he enjoys cuddling and sinking into bed for naps. His playtime is relaxed, and he only engages in a bit of fun around the house each day. Very alert to outdoor noises, Milo can bark more than some might prefer, making a single-family home the right fit for him. He gets along well with most dogs but would do best in a home without cats. Trained to use pee pads, he can also go outside if taken out a few times daily. Due to his medical history, including two IVDD surgeries, it’s important for him not to jump on or off furniture. He won’t thrive in an apartment or condo setting, and homes with young children aren’t recommended. If you think you can provide Milo with a fitting home, don’t hesitate to reach out!
