My story

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

Oh, Milo. This sweet boy has had quite a go of things. He was hit by a car back in April and was severely injured. He was picked up by one of our Animal Protection Officers who brought him to the shelter to save his life. Milo is lucky to have lived- he had significant wounds on his hindlimbs as well as fractures to his pelvis. At first, he wasn`t able to walk, so volunteers moved him around the shelter in a little wagon. In the time since, he has healed SO much!!

Here`s the thing about Milo - through ALL of this pain and struggle, Milo has been the SWEETEST, most patient boy. He loves being around our staff and volunteers and is so easy and cooperative. He loves kisses, cuddles, and squishy snacks like peanut butter! But even more than those things, he’ll absolutely love YOU!

Milo spent some time in a foster home where he did well with another resident dog, was housebroken, and slept in his own crate at night. Here’s what his foster said:

“Milo is a big goofy teenager who would do great with another active dog. He likes chasing the ball and learning new skills. He is also a velcro dog…likes to be next to you on the couch, at your feet in the kitchen, etc. He is very playful and likes his ears rubbed. He’s a great dog!”

Here`s what else we learned about Milo in his foster home:

- He loves to chase a tennis ball
- He enjoys learning new skills
- He likes watching TV
- He loves to snuggle
- He does great in the car

And here’s what one volunteer at the shelter said:

“I had a good walk with Milo this week and he was well behaved as always. Leashing up was easy, he did not take notice of other dogs, and he was polite on leash without pulling. Good job buddy!”

Now that Milo is quite literally back on his feet, he’s ready to find a family of his own. When meeting other dogs in playgroup at the shelter, Milo has been playful and easygoing. Please ask to meet Milo today!!
