Milo

🐾 Meet Milo — a bouncy little bundle of joy! 🐾

Milo is a gorgeous young male Shmoodle (Toy Poodle x Maltese/Shih-Tzu) weighing 5.2 kg.

More Poodle than Maltese/Shih-Tzu, he has a coat of fairly tight curls that doesn’t need frequent clipping. (Check out his before-and-after grooming shots — and don’t tell our groomer, but his foster Dad wasn’t thrilled to see the curls go!) And speaking of our groomer, she says he's one of the nicest dogs she's ever had through the salon.

Milo was reluctantly surrendered to us, but it’s clear he’s been a much-loved and well-cared-for little dog. He has excellent manners and is an absolute delight to be around.

He’s housetrained, sleeps peacefully at night, and only barks when someone comes to the door. He walks nicely on leash (with a little excited tug at first), enjoys car rides, and was a joy to groom.

Milo gets along wonderfully with other dogs, even new canine friends, though he hasn’t been exposed to cats yet.

Full of energy and affection, Milo loves cuddles, happily hops onto your lap for a chat or a pat, and is always ready to be your loyal shadow. His foster Dad calls him a “perfect little dog”, and it’s easy to see why.

He would make an ideal companion for a retired singleton or couple or a family with older children.

His ideal home will have someone around almost all the time because he loves company, a secure fence to keep him safe, and an "open door policy" so that he can enjoy the privileges of inside living and pop out through the doggy or other door as the need arises.

💛 If you’re looking for a sweet, snuggly, bouncy, little buddy, Milo is waiting to meet you!
