most, if any, of the things other dogs enjoy as puppies. He was picked up by animal control as a stray, suspected to be a discarded hunting dog left to fend for himself. After coming to TFP and going to his foster home, it took him a little while to understand what seemed to him to be the foreign comforts of a home and a soft dog bed. Now he understands, and this boy is ready to leave the past behind him and join his very own forever family! When meeting Milo for the first time, he is a bit shy and reserved but once you've earned his trust, be ready to meet the Milo who is a loyal companion, quickly on his way to becoming a "Velcro dog." Milo definitely does love his people and their companionship, and he wants to be with them as much as possible. His trust and love are worth the little bit of patience it may take to get there. Milo gets along great with other dogs and will flourish in a home with a confident dog companion to guide him when he feels a bit insecure and help build his confidence in new situations. Loud noises can still be a bit scary for him, and he feels much more at ease walking alongside another dog. He's wonderful with children and warms up to them quickly! While we have not tested his compatibility with cats, he does not seem to have a high prey drive. When it comes to fun, Milo loves a good Benebone and is now happily (for the first time ever) discovering the joy of playing with toys, especially during playtime with his doggy friends. He’s a quick learner, already house-trained, crate-trained, and knows “sit.” Being highly treat-motivated will make his ongoing training both easy and fun. And, if you love car rides, Milo’s your guy – he's great in the car and enjoys the breeze with his nose out the window! Milo is a survivor in every sense of the word, having recently completed heartworm treatment. While his heart is still on the mend, The Furever Project will cover any remaining treatment costs until he gets a clean bill of health (negative heartworm results). Until clear of heartworms, he can still be adopted under a foster-to-adopt contract. Milo is looking for a patient family who can provide him with a loving, stable home environment while ensuring he gets the right balance of rest and gentle activity for a full recovery.
