About Milo

Meet Milo, a 3-year-old male Mini Australian Shepherd weighing in at 22 lbs. This spirited pup was rescued in Brooklyn after being found hiding in fear beneath a parked car. Despite the challenges he faced, he's undergone an impressive transformation through dedicated training and care. Milo has a playful and energetic personality, characterized by strong herding instincts. He thrives on movement, play, and bonding time with both people and other dogs. While he’s come a long way, Milo is still building his confidence and learning to manage his vibrant energy. Milo would thrive in a home with experienced dog owners familiar with herding breeds. An active family that enjoys exercise and training is a must; he’d even make a great running partner! His ideal environment includes someone patient and consistent to provide structure, as well as a balance of activity and downtime to prevent overstimulation. He may get along with another compatible dog or a cat, given careful introductions. We're searching for someone who recognizes Milo's potential and is eager to continue his growth journey. He is sensitive yet intelligent and eager to learn. This could be the start of an amazing partnership! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
