Meet Milo

Milo is a beautiful male 10-year-old Pekinese Mix being fostered in Waterloo. He came to us from the shelter where he was surrendered due to allergies in the family. He has a gorgeous copper and white coat. He is a little underweight at 11 lbs so will need some TLC to get up to his ideal weight. Milo has recently been neutered and has had a dental cleaning. He is vaccinated, microchipped, and is on flea and tick prevention. Milo needs a bit of time and space to get used to changes. Once he feels comfortable he is quite affectionate. He has shown his fosters a few tricks he knows, like sit and spin. He is protective of treats or toys so an adult home would be best for him. He is good with other dogs and indifferent to cats. He enjoys walking on the leash and being outside. He travels well in the car. He can be left for several hours on his own in the house and is not destructive. Milo is housetrained and will ask at the door to go out. He does mark a bit in new surroundings so we put a belly band on him at those times. He is eating soft food while he heals from his dental cleaning where he had a few extractions. Milo sleeps on his dog bed during the day. Occasionally he asks to be picked up to sleep on his mom's bed overnight. He cannot jump onto furniture but can use stairs. He would be happy being the only dog or sharing a home with another dog of similar size and age. Milo's preferred home would have a fenced backyard or someone available for regular walks. Milo is looking forward to finding his perfect forever family to call his own. Due to time constraints, we cannot respond to every email asking for more information on a dog.
