mp; Soulful Sidekick When Milo arrived to us in early May from an overcrowded Texas shelter, he was barely recognizable — just a tangled mop of hair, scared and shut down. But oh, what a difference a little love can make. Just days into his new foster home, this sweet 3-year-old Maltipoo (Maltese/Poodle mix) began to bloom. Beneath the mats and fear was a gentle, sensitive boy with amber-brown eyes that reflect a soul full of love. Milo is a quiet companion with a big heart. He’ll happily trot by your side on walks, roll over for belly rubs, and curl up near you at night — close enough for a kiss and a snuggle, but always ending up at the foot of the bed (guardian of dreams, perhaps?). He greets everyone — human, dog, cat, or bird — with the same calm curiosity and soft kindness. He’s also a bit of a drama king in the cutest way. Diagnosed with heartworm before arriving to us, Milo has begun his treatment, which involves a series of injections over the course of several weeks. (Heartworm is a serious but treatable condition caused by parasitic worms spread through mosquito bites — the treatment prevents long-term damage to the heart and lungs.) After his first injection, Milo milked it for all it was worth, winning sympathy snuggles from vet staff and his foster dad alike. He knows how to work his charm. While Milo is still working on perfecting his potty training, we’re confident with patience and consistency (and maybe a few treats), he’ll have it down in no time. He’s an emotional little guy — he picks up on your mood and just wants reassurance that everything’s okay. No yelling needed — just a soft word and a loving hand. Because of his ongoing heartworm treatment, Milo is available only as a foster-to-adopt for now. This means you’ll get to welcome him into your home and heart while we finish his care — and once he’s cleared and healthy, he’s all yours to officially adopt. If you’ve got a soft spot for soulful dogs with a gentle spirit and a side of goofball, Mr. Milo Man might just be the one you’ve been waiting for. Age and breed are based on veterinarian and intake professional’s recommendation and not guaranteed as a rescue animal’s history is often unknown. All companion animals adopted by The Rescue Crew are spayed/neutered, up-to-date on age appropriate vaccinations, tested for FIV/FeLK (cats) or heartworm (dogs), microchipped, dewormed and provided with monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventatives prior to adoption. The Rescue Crew is a foster based rescue organization, meaning all of our adoptable pets are located in homes throughout Minnesota. We do not have a physical location where you can stop by to visit the animals - we require the completion of an Adoption Request Form prior to meeting any of our adoptable pets in foster care. For the most complete information regarding this animal, and all of our adoptable pets, please ensure you are visiting our website directly at .RescueCrew. You can also access the necessary online forms here as well.
