Milo's Story

Location: Edmonton, AB // Age: Approx 9 years // Sex: Neutered male // Energy Level: Low-Medium // Dogs: Yes // Cats: Untested but likley ok // Kids: Older, calm kids // 🐾<br/><br/>Milo is a sweet little Chihuahua boy who proves that the best things really do come in small, cuddly packages. With his gentle nature and low energy level, Milo enjoys a relaxed lifestyle—short walks, cozy naps, and being as close to his people as possible. When he’s not curled up beside you, he has the cutest little spurts of energy where he’ll trot around happily before settling back in for another snooze. 🐾<br/><br/>This affectionate senior absolutely adores people. He greets everyone like a long-lost friend and would happily spend his days following his person from room to room or wiggling his way into your lap for snuggles. 🐾<br/><br/>Milo walks beautifully on leash and seems to already know his manners, often checking in with his handler and stopping when you stop. He also enjoys enrichment toys—especially hide-a-treat games (because snacks are one of his favorite things!). 🐾<br/><br/>Like many small dogs, Milo is still working on his housetraining. He would do best in a home with easy, frequent access to the outdoors to help him succeed. Right now, his foster mom uses belly bands to help manage occasional accidents while he continues learning. Milo also tends to gobble his food and water, so he currently eats and drinks from slow feeders to keep things safe and comfortable. 🐾<br/><br/>Milo gets along well with other dogs, though he can be a little protective of his people or food at first until he feels secure. With proper introductions and time to settle in, he should do well with a friendly canine companion. Cats would likely be fine, and due to his small size and gentle nature, he would do best in a home with older, calm children. 🐾<br/><br/>This little senior deserves a home where he will be cherished, spoiled, and loved for the rest of his days. Milo has so much affection to give, and he’s ready to share it with a family who will adore having a loyal shadow and cuddle buddy by their side. 🐾<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a calm, loving companion with a soft heart and a gentle soul, Milo might just be your perfect match.

Ruff Start Rescue Society's Adoption Policy
Adoption Process Step 1: Browse Our Adoptable Animals Take your time reading each dog’s profile carefully to see who may be the best fit for your home, lifestyle, and experience. Step 2: Submit an Application Complete our online adoption application as thoroughly as possible. The more detail you provide, the better we can make thoughtful and appropriate matches. Step 3: Application Review A team member will review your application and reach out via your preffered method to arrange a phone interview to learn more about your home and answer questions. Step 4: Meet & Greet If your application is approved, we’ll schedule a meet-and-greet. This is a chance to spend time with the animal and ask questions. Afterward, everyone goes home to “sleep on it” before making a decision. Step 5: Home Check A home check is required for every adoption. This ensures your space is safe and ready for your new pet. Step 6: Reference Calls We will complete reference checks before moving forward to the next step in the process. Step 7: Trial Period (Optional) Families with resident pets or children may request a one-week trial adoption. A $200 deposit is required and will be applied to the adoption fee if the trial is successful. Step 7: Finalization When everyone agrees it’s the perfect match, we’ll finalize the adoption contract. That’s when your new family member officially comes home!
