Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Mailo is 14 pounds and between 1.5 ~2 yrs old.
This sweet boy was rescued when his "family" put him on the streets once his female companion got pregnant with his babies... the owner left his on the side walk and little Mailo wouldn't leave the entrance to the house. Until a wonderful rescuer saw him a couple of times and after talking to the "owner" realized that the family had no interest in him anymore because "it was going to be too much work once the puppies arrive".
Despite the bad experience he suffered with his first "family", Mailo does not suffer from separation anxiety, he is SUPER social and loving to ALL, adult humans, kids, and dogs of all sizes. He LOVES to be petted and be with his human... this guy does not even bark! He is just a super laid back loving doggy that enjoys the day to the fullest, his toys, a chew, relaxing right next to you while watching TV, or a car ride. LOVES to go out on walks!
He has a mellow personality. Lives indoors but goes out potty if you have a doggy door or leave the back door open to the yard.
Mailo will be perfect for someone who works from home, and if you have another pet, he will enjoy that as well as he is used to socializing with other foster doggies.
This boy is a true GEM. He is looking for the most loving family in San Diego... if you are it, submit your application.
