MILO: NOT AT SHELTER-SPONSORED BY "FERGUS" - BULLDOG / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Bulldog / Mixed (short coat). Milo is officially ready for adoption! From his Trainer: He's hung out with me for quite some time to learn about being an indoor dog and to work on some manners. He's a very sweet, playful and highly food motivated neutered bully mix (approx 1-2 yrs old & 40 lbs)... and he thinks I'm far too active for his preferred lifestyle So long as he gets adequate exercise he's a pretty easy housemate. He also loves to chew so keep plenty of chew toys around! He can be jumpy and excitable with people so training will need to be maintained to avoid regression. He adores people and dogs but can be flighty around youngsters, likely due to lack of exposure. His reaction to fear is flight but he can usually be asked to sit so you can catch him. He will likely run for a crate if a crate is utilized. He's a fairly soft dog but gains confidence quickly when he learns he can trust you. He's so fun and would love a home with moderately active people and another dog! Access to a yard and play with another dog is usually all the exercise he needs lol. Btw this guy will literally just lay there and let you clip his nails Located in Central VA Apply through friendsofcampbellcounty #fosterdog #dogtrainer #dogtraining #adoptme #adoptorshopresponsibly #friendsofcampbellcountyanimalcontrol #foccac #bullymix #bbm UPDATE: It has taken a couple weeks, but our boy Milo has new-found confidence and LOVES being walked and taken out for adventures now. He is a chunky little fella, who has become very rotund as the days go by. He loves attention now, going for long walks, and playing ball in the playyard with the volunteers. He appears to be housetrained, loves children, and would love to be adopted. His adoption fee is sponsored! Milo is one of the most submissive dogs we have had come through in a while. He is a good looking boy, but has no confidence with the shelter surfaces, new people, or new situations. We are sad for him, because at his young age, he has such potential for being a happy cuddly boy. Our volunteers are spending time with him, encouraging him to come out and walk, but have had no luck thus far. Hopefully, his luck will soon change.
