My story

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

Hey there,

Woof! It's me, Milo, writing this message with a wagging tail and a heart full of hope. Life has been a bit ruff lately, but I'm ready for a new chapter with someone as pawsitively awesome as you.

I'm a charming 6-year-old Shih Tzu mix with a beautiful tan coat, just waiting for a friend to share it with. Unfortunately, my previous owner had to let me go because they couldn't give me the time and care I deserve.

Now, here's the lowdown: I'm housebroken, crate-trained, and get along like a champ with other dogs – yep, I'm a social butterfly. My previous owner mentioned a spine issue affecting my hind legs, probably a disc issue. There's also some discoloration and hair loss, likely due to allergies. I need a rescue hero like you to help me get the medical care I need for these challenges.

But here's the good news: I'm heartworm-negative and already neutered. You can find me hanging out in cage #322, easily spotted by my ID, which is 652143.

Are you ready to add a dash of charm and resilience to your life? I may have a few bumps in the road, but I'm ready to strut my stuff into a new home. Swing by, say hello, and let's start this pawfect journey together!

Please note, all of the pet listings on Friends of Shelter Animals for Cobb are done by volunteers, not shelter staff. If this pet came in as lost (not an owner surrender), we don't know how they might be with children, other pets, or if house trained. You can bring your pet to the shelter for a meet & greet with your potential new best friend. When calling the shelter about a cat or dog, please use THE ID NUMBER, names are oftentimes made up by volunteers.

This pet and many others are available for adoption from the Cobb County Animal Shelter 1060 Al Bishop Dr. Marietta, GA 30008, call (770) 499-4136 for more information. Shelter hours are: Tues. - Sun. 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m, CLOSED Mondays & Holidays. The shelter prefers people to make an appointment, go to - https://nqa3.nemoqappointment.com/Booking/Booking/Index/as65fg9dr953 and select Adoption. You can also show up between 10:30 & 4:00 Tues. thru Sun. (shelter closes at 4:30), you might have to wait a few minutes until someone can help you. The adoption includes shots, altering, a heartworm or combo test and a microchip. When you book an appointment, it doesn't reserve a particular pet for you. Thank you for considering a Cobb pet!
