Milo

Milo is a bright, energetic pup who thrives when given daily outlets for his physical and mental energy. Long walks, sniffing adventures, and enriching games aren't just fun for Milo – they're essential. He loves having a "job" to do, and when his needs are met, he transforms into a focused, happy companion with a spring in his step and a tail held high. While affectionate with people he trusts, Milo is not a fan of being rushed, especially by new faces. He may look like a cuddly teddy bear, but he is independent and smart, needing his personal space respected at all times. Earning his trust is a slow, steady process, but those who are patient will discover a thoughtful, deeply loyal companion.<br/><br/>Milo will do best in a home that provides consistency, structure, and outlets for his energy. He enjoys food puzzles, treat-dispensing toys, and other enrichment activities that challenge his mind. He's still learning house and crate training, but he is a quick and eager learner when guided with patience and positive reinforcement. Milo may do well with a calm, confident dog or dog-savvy cats with slow introductions. His ideal home will be adult-only or include older teens (15+) who understand that he needs time, space, and structure to thrive. Milo will also need lifelong support from veterinary care and behavior guidance to help him become comfortable being left alone, as currently he becomes very stressed and reactive when alone. A family committed to working with a recommended dog trainer will help Milo's energy, confidence, and spirit truly shine.<br/><br/>Potential adopters must speak with Carolyn at Carolyn@gahumane.org, who will schedule meet-and-greets and provide guidance on Milo's special needs.<br/><br/>Behavior and personality assessment is based on information provided by previous owner(s) and/or observations in a shelter environment and may not accurately reflect the pet's behavior in your home.
