About Mylo

Meet Mylo, a 4-year-old, neutered Cattle Dog mix with a personality that's as big as his heart. Weighing in at 44 pounds, he's sporting a charming perma-blep, meaning his tongue is often just a bit too long for his mouth, giving him a goofy, lovable look. Mylo is currently in a foster home in Mooresville, NC, and is ready to find his forever family. Affectionate and curious, Mylo thrives on daily activities, whether that's long walks or some playtime in the yard. He gets along well with dogs of all sizes and has even made friends with dogs ranging from tiny Chihuahuas to an 80-pound Boxer mix. He’s vocal—his growls and grunts during play are just part of his charm, rather than aggression. While he's friendly with new dogs, he has a tendency to chase cats, so a feline-free home is best. Mylo is great with children but ideally suited for homes with older kids (10+) who understand how to interact with an active dog. He loves walks, although he might pull when excited; a no-pull harness could help make those outings more enjoyable. Fully house trained, he's trusted to roam free in his foster home, showing he can behave well without being crated. With his goofy smile and loyal nature, Mylo seeks a moderately active family to share his vibrant spirit. Here's what Mylo hopes for in a forever family: a yard to frolic in, regular walks, tons of love, and plenty of belly rubs. He'd thrive with people who appreciate his unique personality and continue his training, especially with manners like jumping and treat-taking. If you're looking for a lovable sidekick who’ll keep you entertained and active, Mylo might just be the one! Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
