About Milo

Meet Milo, a lovable powerhouse of a dog with a heart just as big as his muscular frame. If you're after a goofy, affectionate companion, Milo is your guy. He is incredibly social with people, house trained, and searching for a dedicated partner to provide him the love and structure he craves. Milo knows basic commands like "sit" and "paw," and he's eager to learn more. His big, energetic personality will shine with consistent training. A professional cuddler at heart, he loves cozying up with his humans for epic snuggle sessions. Milo thrives on daily walks and playtime, though he tends to get intense when he spots other dogs on a leash, quite vocally expressing his excitement. He should start as the only dog in the home, as he is currently pushy with other pups and ignores their corrections. While he hasn't lived with children, older kids who can handle his enthusiasm would be best. Due to his intense reactions around smaller animals, a cat-free home is a must. Positive reinforcement training will benefit Milo in learning focus and self-control. If you're ready for joy, cuddles, and a bit of adventure, stop by the shelter and meet Milo!
