Story
Benji is a 5.5-year-old, 80 lb dog who has been a beloved part of our family since he was a puppy (a gift from my mom via a breeder). We are heartbroken to be rehoming him. Benji is so sweet, affectionate, loyal, and goofy, and loves being around his people. He thrives with attention, exercise, and structure. We’re seeking an experienced owner who can provide consistent training and a calm, confident environment. Benji can be anxious and easily spooked, so he must be kept on leash and needs help continuing his training. Benji has had a few incidents, including a dog fight where a person who intervened was bitten (unclear which dog), and an off-leash situation where Benji chased a small dog and knocked over its owner (not out of aggression, but due to not knowing his size/strength). He is strong and needs a capable handler. With four kids/teens in our home and a baby on the way, we can’t give Benji the extra support he deserves. We want a safe, loving home where he can thrive.

Story
Merlin is a 5 year old 80lb Shepard mix. We are a family of 5 with three boys ages 11, 15 and 17. Merlin has been in our family for 4 years. He was adopted from Milo foundation a 1 year old. He is a happy high energy dog that loves to chase sticks and roam. Despite a secure gat around our house he occasionally escapes when a door to the house is left open (there are several) or he finds an open gate. Despite a hike with me in the morning and one with a hired walker that knows him well he continues to escape. We live in a suburban community with many hiking trails but still have busy roads that pose a threat. He’s a free spirit that needs more space, maybe a job to keep him busy and a person or people to love him.

Story
Kiwi is a 6-year-old sweet, loving dog who has been part of our family since he was 3 months old. He is incredibly affectionate, gentle, and wonderful with kids and other dogs. Kiwi loves being around people and has a very friendly, loyal personality. He has been raised in a home environment and thrives when he has companionship, attention, and consistency. Kiwi struggles with being left alone for long periods and gets bored, which has led to him escaping the yard when unattended. Because of changes in our work and school schedules, we are no longer able to provide the time, structure, and attention he truly needs and deserves.We are hoping to find Kiwi a patient, loving home where he can receive more companionship and security. He would do best with a family who is home more often, has a secure yard, and understands that he forms strong bonds with his people. This has been a really hard decision because Kiwi is such a loving member of our family and we want the best for him.

Mason is a 14 week old puppy - been fostering him for a week now, and his siblings have already been adopted — he’s the last one looking for his home and he is absolutely adorable.In two days he’s completely stolen our hearts. He’s a cuddle bug who just wants to be near you — on the couch, following you around the house, just existing next to you. Goofy, sweet, zero drama. Genuinely one of the nicest dogs we’ve had.He’s getting neutered this week and is available ASAP. We really want him to get adopted and find his forever home with a loving and caring family.Shots current & microchippedGetting neutered this week - can adopt before thenMilo Foundation Adoption Form:https://www.milofoundation.org/pet-adoption-application/Feel free to reach out to me and will send over a million videos/photos and set up a meet and greetkahn.rachel3@gmail.com

Malcolm is a tricolor jack russell terrier mix, who is about 3 years old and 15lbs. He knows some tricks -- e.g, "sit," "touch"! He is fine with other dogs, but not very interested in them. He is good with people and older kids. He is very food motivated and smart. He can coexist with cats.
