About Milo

Hi! I'm Milo, an affectionate puppy stuck in an elderly dog's body. While I have arthritis problems in my back legs, I still have the energy for walks and drives, meeting new people and dogs, tug of war, and zoomies. I still protect my humans from the evil mailman, but I don't have the energy to bark as much. I can't jump on people anymore like I used to, so instead I stand next to and look up at them until they give me attention. I'm very affectionate and love meeting new people and cuddling. With your permission, I will find a way into your lap, despite my size. Before my owner died, I lived in a house with a fenced-in yard. I used to love running around outside chasing squirrels, sitting in the grass, and sunbathing. I sometimes hung out outside for up to two hours if the weather was nice. I would love to have a fenced-in yard again. Inside, I sunbathed throughout the house, sat in my favorite spot by the arm of the couch and watched TV with my family, ran around to get the zoomies out, and played tug of war. I freely ate and drank throughout the day, and as I got older, I napped more and more. Every night, I slept with my owner. My temporary owner lives in a tiny studio apartment with no yard. She takes me out for walks and to use the bathroom multiple times a day, and tries to get me to the dog park or take me on a drive at least once a week. However, I'm home alone a lot as my owner is a student and has a job. I sleep most of the day because I don't have much room to do much else. I can't sleep with my owner because she already has a lot of problems sleeping. I would be a lot happier with more space and life around me. At the very least, I would love a fenced in yard. If that can't happen, I would need my owner(s) to take me out 3-4 times a day, and to have either a larger living space for me to stretch my legs out in or more opportunities to get out of the house and get stimulated. Ideally, I would have a fenced-in yard with a larger living space, and humans and/or dogs of any age around a lot to keep me company. I would love to sleep with my owner(s) again. I'm house-trained, crate-trained, and know basic commands. I walk pretty well on a leash, though I tend to be afraid of other people and dogs out on walks, so I will want to walk the opposite direction. I still have my prey drive, so I pull sometimes, and can be pretty strong about it. My owner has a front-clip harness and shock-absorbing leash for me, which helps with me pulling. I also can be a bit of a Houdini. When I was younger, I would try to get out the front door or find escape routes in the yard. Now that I'm older, I don't do those as much. However, I would keep an eye on me for the first month or two when I'm out in the yard to make sure I don't find any weaknesses in your fence. I am neutered, up-to-date on my vaccinations, and take flea and tick medication. I'm allergic to chicken and I have arthritis in my back legs that I take anti-inflammatories, pain medicine (twice a day), and joint supplements (once a day) for. Due to my back leg issues, I can't jump up on things like I used to. Sometimes I will do it myself, but more and more I have patiently waited for assistance. Thanks for taking the time to get to know me! I hope I can find a good home soon!
