My story

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

Milo - 3 year old yellow male

Milo is a very sweet boy who was given up, because his family didn't feel they had the time to devote to him. He is UTD on all shots, neutered, housebroken and does very well with people and all other dogs. We are unsure of how he is with cats, as our foster home does not have any. His foster mom has written the following write up to give you a better idea of just how sweet Milo is.

Hey everyone! My name is Milo, and I am a 3 year old handsome yellow guy.
I love people! I am a great watchdog and I bark loud when the doorbell rings. Once I see who is behind the door, I politely greet them and then carry on about my business. Everyone I met today was very impressed that I didn’t jump on them at all!
I met my two foster brothers and one sister and they all think I have a lot of energy. I spent an hour running in the backyard with them, chasing and being chased. I love to be chased! My favorite thing to do is pick up a toy and when another dog comes near, I take off and see if they can catch me! I like to try to intimidate them with some heavy growls and even a few barks, but I’m really a softie. My foster siblings sure think I’m tough, so it must be working!
I love toys so much that I try to carry several around in my mouth at all times. I really don’t like to drop them, because they are so much fun- but my foster mom always offers me a really good treat when I decide to drop my toy, so it is worth it!
Tonight my foster mom introduced me to a clicker. We worked on recalls and sits. At first I didn’t like the noise the clicker made, but then I realized that the click meant “treat”! So now I love the sound and I am so eager to learn, and I so badly want to please! Foster mom says I am very trainable and I catch on quickly. I think training is a really fun game, because I get so many treats when we are training. I would love to go to a home that is willing to keep playing the training game with me!
When I have to go outside, I go to the back door. Foster mom opens it and I go about my business. I am not a big sniffer, I would rather pick up toys than sniff around. When I’m ready to come in, I come to the back door and look in. Tonight it was very wet outside, so I was really muddy! When I came in, she made me stand still while she wiped down my paws.
My foster mom wanted to see how I handled being in a crate, since I am not used to being in one very often. It was not as much fun as running around with toys, so I let her know! I barked very loudly and dug at the crate for about 10 minutes. She never came to rescue me! So, I gave up and guess what! She came and brought me a treat! I was quiet as a mouse after that and she kept bringing me treats. I really didn’t mind the crate after that. I laid down and took a quick nap in it.
Later on, my foster siblings were eating dinner and I decided to join foster mom upstairs. She was in the shower so I took her towel away. I’m such a funny guy! She came out looking for it and found me nuzzling into it and taking a nap! She said it was so cute she had to take a picture. She is always flashing that camera in my face! She said I am a beautiful subject. J
When I decided I was done playing for the night, I found my foster mom and laid down at her feet. I would rather be with people than anywhere else in the world! I love to cuddle and I don’t mind if you kiss my head or play with my ears.
Well, that is all for now- it has been a very long day and I need to get some rest! Good night!
Love,
Milo
