About Milligan

Meet Milligan, a charming 3-year-old chocolate merle Pocket American Bully who is ready to leave his shelter life behind for a loving home. He came to us as a stray, and now it's time for him to find someone special who will cherish him forever. Milligan embodies personality, with big ears, a cute little underbite, and a head that seems to have a personality of its own. His name honors North Royalton firefighter Ryan Milligan, a tribute to the courage and dedication he showed, which we hope adds a touch of warmth to Milligan's journey ahead. This sweet boy strives to bring happiness to everyone he encounters while keeping Ryan's memory alive. Milligan has a delightful energy level, relishing fetch games with tennis balls and impressively bringing the ball back each time. He’ll need help improving his leash manners, as he tends to pull quite a bit during walks. It’s important to note that he prefers sunny days over rainy ones. Currently, Milligan’s compatibility with dogs, cats, and children is unknown, so a meet and greet with any resident dogs is advised to ensure harmony. Milligan is available through our Foster-to-Adopt program, allowing him to settle in your home as he completes his remaining veterinary care, which includes vaccinations, heartworm testing, neuter surgery, and microchipping. This is a great chance to bond with him while we take care of the details. If you’re ready to welcome this adorable, snorty little meatball into your life, now is the time to reach out. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
