MILO

My name is Milo. I am a 6-year-old Basset mix. Mixed with what, you may ask. Well, no one knows. Maybe some terrier, maybe some lab, maybe a little of both! I came to BROOD when my family moved and they couldn't take me with them.

I am house-trained and can use a doggie door. I will gladly take myself out several times a day for potty breaks and a quick trot around the yard. I don't like being crated but there's really no need as I am very well behaved in the house. I love going on walks and will make a great walking companion for you. I am easy to care for and don't require much to be happy. I like to hang out with my family, following them from room to room, settling for a nap close by.

I like my environment to be quiet and calm, so I'd be best in a home with older children only. Young toddlers are just too fast and unpredictable for me. I also need a home where I am the only dog. Sometimes, the energy of other dogs can be a little overwhelming.

I have soft, fluffy fur, all the more tempting for you to give me pets and scratches. I love to cuddle with my family and will sleep soundly through the night waiting to get up when they are ready. I am not too interested in toys and chew bones, but I'll never turn down a treat or a special doggie yogurt treat, YUM!!!! I am a great pal and ready to just hang out with you!!! Please contact BROOD today!!! My adoption fee is $250.00
