About Milo

Meet Milo. This charming Dachshund/Chihuahua mix is about 5 years old and weighs in at a small size. Milo can be shy and sensitive, needing some time to warm up to new people. However, once he trusts you, he has so much love to share. He tends to get a bit jealous of other dogs, so he will thrive with individual attention. Milo has lived happily with children and is both house-trained and crate-trained. He enjoys his walks but isn’t fond of car rides, so it might be best to keep trips short and sweet. With a supportive and patient home, ideally a quiet one, Milo will truly flourish. Located near Saratoga Springs, NY, Milo is not in H.O.P.E's custody, so arrangements for adoption will be handled directly with his current owner. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
