About Milo

Milo is a sweet five-year-old black tri Australian Shepherd who weighs 60 lbs and has a full tail. He came into rescue in June 2026 after struggling with anemia and blood in his urine, but thanks to Dr. Sarah at Barrington Oaks, he's now healthy and ready for new adventures. This affectionate pup enjoys being with his family, both human and canine. He welcomes strangers warmly, often recruiting them as his personal booty scratchers. While he is generally lower-energy, daily walks would help him shed some weight and maintain his health. Milo is house trained and does well in his crate, preferring a quiet space where he can relax. Having been moved around in the past, he is adaptable but would do best in a home with kids aged 10 and older, as he previously nipped at a toddler during a mealtime incident. He’s been polite with every adult and gentle with other dogs he encounters. Milo does need trusted recall established before being off-leash. He gets along well with dogs and is good with cats.
