Meet Milo

Meet Milo! A spirited nine-year-old German Shepherd mix from Oakland, CA, whose zest for life and love for people is as vibrant as his handsome black-and-tan coat. Despite his senior status, Milo is a healthy, energetic soul often mistaken for a much younger dog, thanks to his good health and love for hiking, walking, and showing off his impressive training skills. This big-hearted guy is a wonderful training buddy, highly food-motivated, and already a pro at cues like “sit,” “down,” “spin,” “wait,” “leave it,” and even the nifty “fix your paw!” If you’re someone who loves bonding through training, Milo will be right by your side, eager to learn and thrilled to show you just how clever he can be! Day-to-day, Milo is a mellow companion who spends much of his time snoozing but is always ready to hit the trails or take a stroll around the neighborhood. He’s polite on the leash and a calm friend to strangers and other dogs he meets while out and about. At home, Milo’s love for people is equally big, though he can get a little overexcited with new visitors, welcoming them with an enthusiastic greeting that sometimes involves a lot of face-licking! After an hour or so, he settles down and becomes a cozy, loyal cuddle buddy, happy to be a constant companion who sticks by your side. Milo does get anxious around young children and would feel most comfortable in a home without babies or toddlers. However, he’s quite content and relaxed around older kids and adults, especially those who understand his need for calm introductions and consistent routines. He’s fine with short or long absences and is an easygoing fellow who’s housetrained, neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. Milo isn’t a fan of cats and can be selective with dogs, so he’d be happiest as your one-and-only four-legged friend, or possibly with a compatible dog friend. If you’re searching for a loving, trainable, and loyal companion who thinks he’s a lap dog, Milo might just be your perfect match! Are you ready to invite this affectionate, well-mannered adventurer into your life? Contact us at [email protected] to meet Milo, your future best buddy!
