About Milo

Milo is a two-year-old Chiweenie who weighs about 20 lbs. After being rescued from a challenging situation in Puerto Rico, he’s learning to adjust to city life. This sweet dog needs a patient owner who understands that he requires time to acclimate, especially when it comes to doing his business outdoors. Milo prefers to go off-leash in a safe space and is a great companion on walks, as he's not afraid of the city. At home, he enjoys curling up in soft blankets and observing his surroundings. While he is not yet a snuggler, he loves to be near his humans. Milo remains cautious outdoors, often keeping his tail tucked, and he may need encouragement to feel comfortable enough to potty outside. Socializing with dogs and humans can be a learning experience for him, but he generally gets along well with both, particularly with gentle and calm approaches. Milo is crate-trained and has no issues being left alone, making him a gentle soul looking for a loving and understanding home. He's also good with cats and prefers to be in a calm environment. If you're ready to give Milo a home where he can blossom with love, he’s waiting for you. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
