Story
Meet Milo
Milo is a 14-year-old Shih Tzu gentleman with a soft spirit and the calm wisdom that only comes with age. This sweet little grandpa found himself as a stray in California and ended up at Ventura County Animal Services, where he quickly became a favorite among the shelter staff. Everyone adored him and hoped he would find a loving home to spend his golden years. When we saw his sweet face, we knew we had to help — and Milo made the journey to Washington to start his next chapter.
Milo is a very chill, low-energy guy who enjoys the simple things in life: cozy beds, warm blankets, and a little time outside to explore the world through his nose. Milo is blind, so when he arrives in a new space he likes to slowly “map” his surroundings by exploring and pacing a bit. Once he learns the layout, he settles in beautifully and is perfectly content relaxing in a comfy bed or snuggling up nearby.
He’s gentle, quiet, and easygoing — the definition of a sweet senior companion. Milo gets along well with other dogs and would likely be fine with cats or respectful children, though he doesn’t necessarily need other animals around to be happy. He would thrive in a quiet, cozy home where he can enjoy a peaceful retirement.
Milo does well with pee pads and also understands that outside is the place to potty. His heart medications make him need to go more frequently, but he manages it well and happily goes when taken outside. He walks nicely on leash and enjoys short strolls or gentle yard exploration.
Due to his age and health conditions, Milo is considered a hospice-type senior. His heart disease is currently well managed with medication, but it’s possible that Milo may simply be living out the final chapter of his life. What he truly deserves is a loving home where he can enjoy the very best sunsets of his life — surrounded by warmth, kindness, and someone who cherishes him for however long he has.
To help support Milo and his adopter, NorthWest Wag will reimburse one full year of his heart medication and will cover the cost of a dental within the first year of adoption (performed at our partner vet in Gig Harbor).
Milo may be in his golden years, but he is still the most dapper little gentleman around — especially when sporting a cozy sweater. He’s a handsome, independent love bug who simply wants a soft place to rest and someone to share a blanket (and maybe a stinky snack) with.
If you have a quiet home and a soft spot for seniors, Milo would love to spend his golden days by your side.
