Story
Hi, my name is Milo 🤍 I’m a male Maltipoo, weighing about 7kg (15 lbs), and I’m just 1 year and 6 months old — still very young. I was rescued from an animal hoarding situation. More than 80 dogs were crowded into a tiny space where it was hard to breathe. There was no one to protect me, so I had to protect myself. Every day was filled with anxiety. Every moment felt like competition. In that environment, I had to become strong simply to survive. Thankfully, I was rescued and brought to a shelter. After my health check, everyone was surprised — my body is miraculously healthy. But some of those difficult days still live quietly in my heart. Despite my past, I have a beautiful personality. I love people, I’m very affectionate, and I deeply crave human touch. In new or unfamiliar environments, I may be a little cautious at first. I’ve never lived alone before, so I may show signs of separation anxiety, and situations where I feel confined can cause intense fear. Because I spent so long having to defend myself, I may show defensive behavior toward smaller dogs, especially if I feel pushed aside. However, I do not show this behavior with dogs larger than me. For this reason, I would do best in a home: ✔️ with a larger dog than me, or ✔️ as the only dog, where I can receive focused love and reassurance. Everything about home life is new to me — living indoors, going on walks, and sharing daily life with people. I’m learning all of this for the very first time. I’m only a year and a half old. Still so young. I’m looking for a family who will teach me with love, wait patiently when I make mistakes, and gently say, “It’s okay.” I’m no longer a dog who needs to survive alone. Now, I deserve a life where I’m loved — not just enduring. Please take my paw and help me begin a life of love. I’m waiting for my forever family 🤍
