Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Milo is a typical Chihuahua. If you love the breed, than you are going to absolutely adore Milo! He is wary of strangers and new people, but after a slow intro (and a few doggie treats!), we promise you that Milo is the sweetest, friendliest, cuddliest, dog you'll ever have. One of his favorite things is to be held on his back and carried like a baby. This young boy is seriously precious! Milo is also very dog friendly. He LOVES to play, and we would prefer to find him a home with another active buddy to romp around with.
Not long after bringing Milo into our rescue, it was apparent that he had experienced some abuse in his past. Milo came to us from the county shelter - set to be euthanized for behavioral issues. However, not only was this poor kid sick, but our vet found 4 broken ribs. No wonder this little guy was defensive in the shelter - he was in a lot of pain! With patience and training, this 8 lb. cutie has shown us that he is actually very friendly, fun, smart, and super snuggly. And once he realizes you don't want to hurt him, he is your absolute best friend!
(NO CHILDREN UNDER 12 YEARS, PLEASE!)
