1⃣ Health Condition
* Neutered.
* Microchipped, heartworm negative upon retest, and dental scaling and extraction of one incisor completed.
* Has a flea and tick allergy. Needs monthly tick prevention medication applied, and his bedding and blankets must be kept meticulously clean.
2⃣ Rescue Story
* When Milo was staying at the Gimje City Shelter, he always had a sad look on his face and sat quietly in the corner. Whenever he saw humans, he was busy hiding away. Deeply concerned that Milo would completely close off his heart due to extreme fear and stress, Adogs stepped in urgently to rescue him.
3⃣ Basic Information
* With People: Is very fearful. If a stranger tries to touch him suddenly, he shows stress signals like yawning or lip-smacking. Is wary of strangers who intrude in his space and dislikes people who are pushy or fail to read his boundaries. However, with familiar faces he sees often, he will approach first to sniff. Once he fully trusts you, he becomes completely comfortable, allowing kisses, hugs, and physical touch!
* With Dogs: In his foster home, he doesn't show much interest in other dog friends and remains rather indifferent around adult dogs. Coexists peacefully for the most part. Gets along quite well with smaller puppies.
* With Cats: Shows no interest in cats.
* Separation Anxiety: Has no separation anxiety and relaxes wonderfully on his own.
* Potty Training: In his current foster home, he handles his business outdoors. Tends to mark wherever other dogs have pottied.
* Hygiene: Gets a bit scared when sprayed directly with the showerhead, but tolerates baths well and has no aversion to the blow dryer. Loves being brushed. Although he dislikes having his paws touched, nail trimming is manageable. Also behaves very well during toothbrushing.
* Walks: Because he has some fear of the unfamiliar, he is currently undergoing leash training. Tends to freeze or resist in crowded areas, but walks well in quieter places. With consistent guidance, he is making great progress day by day.
* Car Sickness: Travels perfectly and relaxes quietly in his kennel during car rides.
* Biting: Used to open his mouth defensively toward strangers when feeling terrified. However, through consistent desensitization training, he now simply freezes when unfamiliar people touch him and no longer snaps. However, he may still bite defensively when his paws are touched. If a human acts too pushy or makes him uncomfortable, he will growl to signal his boundaries. If such warning is ignored, he may muzzle punch. Care is needed because he may growl or even muzzle punch if another dog stares or passes by while you have treats. Careful observation is recommended in any new environment.
* Barking: Doesn’t bark loudly but occasionally whines softly to communicate his needs.
* Personality & Preferences: Is a sensitive, cautious, and independent boy who thrives in his own personal space. Is scared of large movements and sudden touch, and tends to have potty accidents when suddenly held. Is also scared of outside noises and the sound of the leash buckle, and is very sensitive about having his paws touched, so we're currently working on desensitization training. While it takes time for him to open up his heart, once you establish a bond, he reveals himself to be an incredibly sweet and charming.
