About Milo

Meet Milo! This charming little Shih Tzu is two years old and is a delightful boy full of sweetness and smarts. Milo knows his name, and commands like sit and lay down, showcasing his eagerness to please. He came to us as a stray and has patiently waited for a family to call his own. Unfortunately, despite our efforts, no one has claimed him, so now he’s ready to start fresh with someone who will cherish him. Milo is known to do well with other dogs and might be able to adjust to living with cats, given proper introductions. While he's not overly playful at the shelter, we believe a home environment could help him bloom into a more playful companion once he's comfortable. He is not yet fully house trained, so his new family should be prepared to continue his potty training journey. We also recommend working on leash training, crate training, and basic obedience to help him develop into a wonderful pet. Milo is up to date on all vaccinations and will be neutered. He is currently available through a foster-to-adopt arrangement, paving the way for a forever home. This little guy deserves all the love and care in the world. Could you be the one to give Milo his second chance? Start your journey together with Milo today!
