Story
✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to SEA💟 Meet Milo💗 💙 Name: Milo 💙 Gender: Male 💙 Age: Estimated 4 years old (Born in May 2021) 💙 Weight: 5.65 kg / 12.46 lb 💙 Milo's Updates Account: @foster_zip_ 1️⃣ Health Condition * Neutered. * Microchipped. * Is allergic to salmon, so you should check the ingredients before feeding any kibble or treats. 2️⃣ Rescue Story * While at the Gimje City Shelter, Milo always had a sad expression and would sit quietly in a corner. He seemed to be scared — whenever someone approached, he would quickly retreat and hide. To prevent his fear and stress from worsening, Adogs rescued him. 3️⃣ Basic Information * With People: Is shy around strangers and feels uncomfortable with sudden touches — he may yawn or lick his lips when uneasy. Feels more uncomfortable with middle-aged females than males. Among his foster family members, he seems to feel particularly uncomfortable around the mother but the relationship with her is improving step by step. Once he becomes familiar with someone, he allows cuddles and belly rubs, gives kisses, and even enjoys being held. When he feels affectionate, he gently boops with his nose and gazes lovingly at you. Expresses his affection to foster parent by exposing his tummy. It is important to take time to allow him to open up. * With Dogs: Tends to have no interest in other dogs whom he encountered at his foster home. Was aloof but got along with other dogs without trouble at our center and dog school. * With Cats: Shows no interest in cats. * Separation Anxiety: Displays no signs of separation anxiety. * Potty Training: Uses pee pads and artificial grass indoors. Never goes on a pad that’s already been used and folds it — he’ll wait for a clean one. Poops every 2 to 3 days. Tends to eat his poop, so it would be better to clean it up right after he potties. * Hygiene: Is a little scared when sprayed with the showerhead, but overall handles baths well and doesn’t mind the use of a hair dryer. Enjoys being brushed, and when in a good mood, will even lie down comfortably during grooming. However, he doesn’t like his paws being touched, so there’s a chance he might give a warning punch (using his mouth) during nail trimming. It’s best to hold him securely and clip the nails quickly. * Walks: Is a little scared of the outdoors, and had a panic attack previously. Is currently getting training indoors for walking. During leash training indoors, when the leash is tugged briefly to signal for him to go, he runs straight to another space and then runs back to his dog bed. Feels nervous and pants when people try to stop him during such time. * Car Sickness: No motion sickness. Stays calm and quiet in a kennel during travel. * Biting: No biting behavior. * Barking: Rarely barks. When he wants to drink water or needs to potty, he whines a little. Whines at his foster parent as a signal to clean up after he potties. * Likes: Enjoys relaxing alone in his kennel. Is a true treat lover — meats like boiled chicken breast and duck jerky are his favorites! * Dislikes: Sudden movements or unexpected touches can startle him. Especially when a stranger tries to hold his feet, he may growl and snarl his lips. When strangers try to hold him for more than a minute, he will make potty accidents. Is very sensitive to outside noises when he’s indoors and he growls. During training, if he gets stressed, he pees and runs away.
