I have had Milo since he was a puppy. He has a lot of energy and loves to play. He loves being outside and likes going on walks. He does have an allergy issue that has surfaced due to the area we moved to at the beginning of the year 2025. He is always in good nature and spirits. He is house trained, will wait by the door to be let out to go potty.

Story
Meet Mike, a brave and resilient 12 year-old miniature schnauzer, with a heart full of courage who has been through a lot but still has so much love to give. I first welcomed him into my home 2 1/2yes ago from a friend who couldn't take care of him any more, and since then he has become a deeply cherished companion. Unfortunately, Mike was involved in a serious car accident in the past and more recently experienced trauma after being attacked by another dog ( Pitbull). Because of these events, he now struggles with PTSD and can be cautious or anxious in certain situations. Despite these challenges, Mike has a gentle and loving heart. He enjoys snuggling on the couch, going for walks, playing with toys and finds comfort in the presence of patient, understanding people. With the right environment, Mike has the potential to continue building trust and confidence. I am looking for a calm, stable, and loving home for Mike ideally with no other pets, where can feel safe and receive consis
