I’m Milo, a typical backyard breeder dog. At barely 1-1/2 years old, I’m looking for a new home.

I’m super skittish, scared of people, my own shadow and anything else that moves.

I was just neutered, and the vet discovered a serious heart murmur, grade 6 on 6. That means I’ll need to keep a mellow life, limited exercise and no excited play.

Once I get to know you, I’ll cuddle with you, but for now I need to be “handled with care”. No trying to grab me, pick me up, make me sleep on your lap. That will take some time. The more you push, the more I pull away.

I’m looking for that perfect home, who will know to love me despite my quirks, and help me overcome my fears.
