My story

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

Meet Mila 💕
Mila is a stunning chocolate Pit Bull Terrier mix with a face as precious as her personality! Small but mighty, she’s an energetic, happy pup who loves adventure and playtime. Long walks are her favorite — especially when she gets to stop and sniff along the way! A harness is her best friend for walks since she’s such an enthusiastic explorer.

Plush toys with squeakers are her absolute favorite, and she proudly shows off her “toy-shredding” skills (don’t worry — she’s never tried to eat the pieces!). Mila also adores tasty treats like cheese and freeze-dried snacks, which make training extra fun. She’s already mastering “sit” and is eager to keep learning.

Mila can get a little jumpy and mouthy when excited, but it’s all part of her playful spirit, and she quickly settles with a bit of guidance and patience. She’s been fully potty trained in her foster home, enjoys car rides, and loves rubbing up against her people for extra affection. Mila gets along well with other dogs and would do best in a home with children 12 and older.

If you’re looking for a loving, energetic companion to share your adventures, Mila is your girl! 🐾

Stop by during our adoption hours. For more information, email info@ahconnects.org or call us at 847-697-2880 x: 0, and the staff will be happy to help you.

Our dogs and puppies go home spayed/neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested (7 months and over), and up to date on core vaccines, heartworm, flea, and tick preventatives. Their adoption also includes a free-vet exam at one of our participating veterinarians.

Anderson Humane is a resource for pet owners, providing information and services to provide better care for their pets.
