My story

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

🤍🐾 Meet Milo!! The Shy Little Snugglebug Learning to Trust 🐾🤍

📍 1 year old | 14 lbs | Male | Chihuahua x Jack Russell Terrier

Milo is a tiny, timid soul who was recently transferred into our rescue, and he’s still trying to make sense of the big, overwhelming world around him. He’s scared, unsure, and cautious about new people but underneath all that fear is a sweet little heart just waiting to feel safe. 💛

When you first meet Milo, he’ll likely keep his distance. If you put your hand out, he’ll dart away. If you move too fast, he’ll retreat. But if you sit with him quietly… he gathers his courage, inch by inch, until he’s close enough to say, “Okay… maybe you’re safe.”

Give him more time, and this tiny guy will surprise you! He’ll jump right into your lap (hesitantly at first), curl into your arms, and melt into the softest little cuddle. Milo loves being held once he trusts you and will wiggle around until he finds the perfect snuggle position. 🥹🧸

✨ About Milo
🐶 Male
🎂 1 year old
⚖️ 14 lbs
🐾 Chihuahua x Jack Russell Terrier
😔 Shy, scared, and slow to trust
🧸 Loves to snuggle once he feels safe
🏡 Needs a quiet, patient home
🚸 Best with no kids or older, dog-savvy kids

Milo is not a “walk right in and pet me” kind of dog. He is a “give me time to bloom” kind of dog. With patience, gentleness, and calm energy, Milo will come out of his shell and form a deep, heartfelt bond with his person. 🌿🤍

He’s looking for a peaceful home that understands decompression, honors his pace, and lets him choose trust on his own terms. When he does, it will be magic. ✨
