About Milo

Meet Milo, a charming five-year-old Shih Tzu weighing about ten pounds. He embodies that perfect blend of cat and dog, seeking cozy companionship in a quiet setting. While he takes his time adjusting to new surroundings, Milo is friendly, especially with kids, making him an excellent addition to a family home. Though he’s shown some caution around other dogs on walks, he remains calm when left alone and is well-behaved during visits. Milo is working on his potty training, but he’s already quite good on a leash and responds when called by name. He’s learning to sit when asked and loves just being close to his people. A prime candidate for apartment living, Milo thrives in environments where he can receive plenty of attention—preferably as the sole dog, allowing him to soak up all the love. His foster describes him as an ideal companion: calm and cuddly. Ready to welcome Milo into your home? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
