🐶 Meet Milo!<br/>Breed: Border Collie mix<br/>Sex: Male<br/>Age: 1 year<br/>Weight: 45 lbs<br/>Adoption area: MA & NH only<br/>Contact: Apply at www.survivortails.org and email Katie at adoptions@survivortails.org<br/>(Survivor Tails is a licensed 501(c)3 rescue organization.)<br/>💛 About Milo<br/>Affectionate, goofy, and eager to please — that’s Milo! This silly, lovable youngster has one mission in life: to be as close to his person as physically possible. Milo wants to be in your skin! He’ll sit in your seat the moment you stand up, curl into your spot when you go to bed, and follow you from room to room like your own personal shadow.<br/>This sweet boy’s favorite nicknames include Mylilo, Mymy, and Wild Man. He’s a cuddler through and through, happiest when he’s tucked next to you, on top of you, or keeping watch at the foot of the bed. Despite his snuggly nature, Milo is also an active pup who loves to play — he can wrestle with dog friends for hours or nap quietly until you’re ready to have fun again.<br/>🦴 Foodie Favorites<br/>Milo enjoys Iams Lamb & Rice (2 cups/day) and is transitioning to Hill’s Lamb & Rice. Treats he loves include:<br/>• BetterBones — his absolute favorite<br/>• Cheese<br/>• Carrots<br/>• Peanut butter<br/>• Dried chicken strips<br/>• Dehydrated venison<br/>• Training treats<br/>🏡 Home Life<br/>Milo is fully crate trained and currently uses a large wire kennel. He responds to “Go kennel” and eats all his meals inside. His crate is very much his safe space — he can be defensive if another dog approaches him while he’s resting, but he has never shown aggression toward people.<br/>He’s fully potty trained, though if he really has to go while you’re out, he may eat his poop afterward. This behavior often improves with routine and confidence.<br/>Because Milo is still young and figuring out the world, he may bark at loud or unfamiliar noises. He’ll look directly to his person for guidance — he’s incredibly smart and watches your reaction to learn how to respond.<br/>With new people, he can be nervous and bark at first, but after a good sniff he melts into a total lovebug. He gains confidence quickly when another dog is present and will often watch how they react before deciding someone is safe.<br/>🐾 Activities & Skills<br/>Milo LOVES other dogs! He is a phenomenal playmate — gentle with small or senior dogs, and full-throttle fun with young, energetic play buddies. He’s very submissive and accepts corrections appropriately.<br/>Some of his favorite things include:<br/>• Wrestle time<br/>• Playing with dog friends<br/>• Rolling in leaves and scratching his back under pine branches<br/>• Cuddling absolutely anywhere<br/>• Chewing a bone while sitting beside you<br/>• Jumping into “your spot” on the bed or couch<br/>• Pretending belly-up time is the perfect moment for play<br/>He hasn’t tried swimming yet, but with proper introduction he’ll likely be a water-loving adventurer. He’s also a model citizen for nail trims, brushing, and baths — he holds still, stays gentle, and just wants his person nearby.<br/>✏️ Ongoing Training<br/>Milo is young, brilliant, and bursting with potential. He would thrive with basic obedience, structured exercise, and fun enrichment like scent work or agility. His “areas to polish” include:<br/>• Leash walking: Currently pulls like a sled dog due to excitement.<br/>• Recall: He sometimes thinks he’s in trouble when called and backs away — confidence building helps.<br/>• Skittishness: Cars, movement in the distance, and unfamiliar objects can startle him.<br/>• Kennel guarding (toward dogs only): Because his crate is his safe place.<br/>• Poop eating: Occurs only during accidents and should improve with routine.<br/>He is absolutely young enough — and smart enough — to overcome all of these with consistency, reassurance, and training.<br/>❤️ In Summary<br/>Milo is a tender-hearted, cuddly, playful young dog with endless love to give. He wants nothing more than to follow his person, learn from them, and share in every part of their day. Milo will flourish with an adopter who can continue his training, build his confidence, and give him the structure and affection he craves.<br/>This sweet boy could be your loyal companion, adventure partner, and snuggle buddy all in one. Could Milo be the one for you? 🐾
