About Milo

Meet Milo, a charming black tri male standard Australian Shepherd puppy, just shy of his first birthday on October 31. With striking eyes—one blue and one brown—he's a lively addition to any home. Weighing approximately 40 lbs, Milo was bought as a puppy but his previous family found they couldn’t meet his energetic needs. Milo embodies the spirit of a typical Aussie puppy, boundless energy and all. He adores playing fetch, racing after tennis balls, and is always ready for a walk or car ride. He greets his foster parents enthusiastically each day, eager for new adventures. Currently living with two other dogs, Milo enjoys their company and thrives in a social environment. While he is house trained and well-versed in crate etiquette, he does require some guidance on leash manners. A home with experience in herding breeds would be best suited for him to provide the necessary training and attention. Milo needs to maintain a consistent schedule, especially when it comes to house training. His ideal setting includes access to a fenced yard and opportunities for exercise. Milo is neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, and ready for a loving home. He needs a committed adopter who appreciates his playful spirit and will engage in his training.
