IF YOU APPLY and WE APPROVE YOU it means we are assuming when you meet any of our dogs and fall in love you're ready to ADOPT AND TAKE HIM OR HER HOME! Milo! Milo has all the traits in Aussies people love (but not the traits that can be harder to handle). Milo is a super sweet, shy and quiet companion dog. He will be coy and shy at first but once he settles in he loves being petted and cuddled. Milo came from a loving home but the kids were getting older, louder and busier and he was kind of … overlooked. He doesn’t try to get attention so it’s easy for him to be in a quiet spot chilling out all day. Milo loves walks and is good in the car. He hasn’t done as much car-tripping as he could because he’s the calm observant type who likes to assess the scene and take it all in. Milo is NOT a barker. He doesn’t need toys he’s just more interested in hanging out by his human and taking in the scene. Milo was from a puppy mill and spent the beginning of his life over-crated and not getting outside enough. His back legs have always been a little stuff but it doesn’t stop him from walking or running when he wants to! Hes been well-cared for and doesn’t have any health issues. Milo uses doggie stairs to get on the bed; he can jump but usually doesn’t choose to. He also like den-like places such as under a platform bed. He will even go into a cozy crate tho he doesn’t really need one. Milo would be happy in an apartment or house. He’s a companion not a playmate but gets along with other dogs. He’s a little aloof at first but definitely not an alpha dog so he will defer to any other dog in the house. Milo would be a great cuddle-buddy for young retirees or empty nesters. He’s fine with kids but we hope to find a home where they just visit so he can have some peace. Milo just needs some patience and compassion. He has zero reactivity or aggression to people or dogs and would be fine with cats. He’s a bit like a cat; he doesn’t demand or ask anything so it’s important to keep him near you so he gets regular petting, belly rubs and ear-scratching. Milo is ready for a forever home to decompress in. I’ve only had him a few days but he was comfortable the first night and is definitely very relaxed with each passing day. Quiet, loving, curious, shy but longing to be someone’s special baby Milo is a doll Application: .dashdog Then: Please text Sara: 214-549-9905 Thank you! .dashdog APPLICATION REQUIRED from .dashdog Adoption Fee $450 - the fee is NON-NEGOTIABLE and is not specific for any dog or puppy; it goes to the expenses of the organization as a whole* OUR APPLICATION IS ON .dashdog and must be completed in order to set up a meeting.
