About Milo

Milo is a lively young dog, well-known for his friendly nature and playful spirit. He interacts positively with other dogs and invites them to join in on the fun, though a gradual introduction is essential to ensure everyone gets along. Because he isn’t compatible with cats, a cat-free home is necessary for his adoption. This high-energy pup thrives when he has an active lifestyle paired with mental stimulation. Engaging him with puzzles, trick training, and exercise will keep him happy and well-adjusted. Milo does best in a home with kids aged 13 and older, as he has shown some resource guarding behaviors. Supervision during interactions is key to keeping both Milo and children safe. An owner experienced with positive reinforcement will help Milo learn quickly and bond effectively, guiding him to be the best version of himself. Since he can be sensitive to new sounds, a gentle and attentive caregiver will be ideal for him. Regular vet visits are vital for maintaining his health. With a bit of love and guidance, Milo is ready to become a cherished member of your family. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
