MILO

I’m the marvelous Milo!!!! I am a 6-year-old Basset mix, with the softest fluffiest fur you’ll ever feel. BROOD is helping me find my forever home for the second time. I was initially adopted in 2017,  but my family moved recently and couldn’t take me with them. I know I don’t have a lot of the typical Basset features like long ears and a low body, but I do have the sweet loving loyal personality of a faithful hound.

I am house-trained and can use a doggie door. My foster family has never had to crate me because I am very well-behaved and can be trusted to not make a mess. I am very smart and know lots of words.  I take cues from my foster family and know when my foster mom gets her walking shoes on that it is time to go and get so excited. When I see her pick up her backpack, I know it’s time for a ride in the car to someplace new and will jump for joy to go on an adventure! 

I am easy to care for and don’t require much to be happy. I love tennis balls and usually carry one with me wherever I go. (Be sure to check out my video!) I am a good sleeper and gladly wait for my family to wake in the morning before starting my day. I like taking a few short walks a day but I’m not one for all this nasty heat. Sometimes on very hot days, I just have to put my feet down and say no!

I’m looking for a quiet calm family to love and appreciate me. I need a home without cats as I tend to chase them. I need to be the only dog in the home as the energy level of other dogs is usually too intense for me. I love children as long as they are old enough to understand proper interactions with dogs. Loud noises will startle me so I’d not do well in an apartment or a busy city environment. I am scared of thunderstorms and do take medication to help me deal with the stress of the noise.

I have been back with BROOD for over 13 months (!!) now and I think it is time that I lay down roots with a new family who will love me like I deserve.  Will that be you?  Please contact BROOD today!!! My adoption fee is sponsored by a BROOD supporter who hopes I will be adopted soon.
