Story
Meet Milo, a sweet, energetic, and endlessly loving German Shepherd/Bull Terrier mix who still hasn't gotten the memo that he's no longer a puppy. Born around November 2020, Milo came into our lives in January 2021 through a family friend whose hands became wonderfully full after welcoming newborn twins. We said yes without a second thought and we've never regretted it. Milo is genuinely one of a kind! He's the kind of dog who loves hard, plays harder, and has more than enough affection to fill a home. What Milo needs now is space, room to run, stretch his legs, and truly come into his own. Apartment living has made it clear that this boy has bigger dreams than city walls can hold. Like many sensitive souls, Milo has developed a little anxiety around unfamiliar noises — loud bangs or sudden thuds will send him retreating to his favorite quiet corner. He's not a barker; he's just a dog who appreciates peace. With the right environment and patient, loving people, we believe he'll thrive.

An adoption counselor and client will then have a conversation to answer questions, discuss any medical needs for the pet and determine the suitability of a match (if necessary, we may opt to put adopters in touch with foster parents). After a match is made, clients will be asked to sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee online through our secure payment system *Please see our modified no-risk return policy. (below) The PCH! adoption counselor will then set up a specific appointment time and location. Adopters should bring a pet carrier and/or a leash to pick up and their ID. Adult pets will be wearing a collar. It is important that clients arrive on time, neither early nor late. Cats and kittens are required to leave in a pet carrier. If your adoption is scheduled at Pet Central Helps!: Upon arrival inside the Crossroads Center complex (360 Wylie Drive), look for the black Pet Central Helps! semi-trailer, which is right outside of our facility (Suite 720).

Story
My fee has been generously sponsored. I am bonded with my sister Fiona and have to go to a home with her. Meet this jazzy pair of sisters looking for a new family to take care of them. Fiona and Sabrina are sisters from other misters and share a beautiful bond. They love to play together and get attention from their friends at the kennel. They are active girls who would love a home they could play and have fun together in. Don't let that playtime fool you, these girls snuggle hard when they are done with their day! If you are lucky, you can join the cuddle puddle!
