My story

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

Congratulations, you've found the most handsome dog in the shelter! My name is Milo and wouldn't it be wonderful if we could start a new life together? Here's the sitch- I had one owner for the first five-ish years of my life and we loved each other very much. Circumstances changed, as they sometimes do, and I found myself in a new town with a new family. Turns out that wasn't meant to be either and now I find myself in a kennel at the shelter. I could be one of those dogs who believes that everything happens for a reason, I just need a little more convincing. I'm friendly with other dogs but prefer to be around friends that are my size. Cats? They're ok, too. I'd be most comfortable in an adult only home as I haven't spent much time around small children and might be too much dog for them. I'm handsome, smart, playful and a little chatty. I need a reason for why my life had to be turned upside down and I'm hoping that reason is Y O U.
