About Milo Pettibone

Milo is a charming, 4-year-old, 55-pound yellow Lab mix with a heart full of love and a personality that's a delightful blend of sweet, goofy, and endearingly quirky. He thrives on routine and predictability, which helps him feel secure and allows his wonderfully goofy nature to shine. Milo can be a bit anxious when left alone, but with consistent reassurance, he blossoms into a loyal companion. He enjoys lounging nearby, his adorable awkward trot-bark celebration when it's time to go out, and engaging with his toys. He's housebroken for the most part and does well with frequent potty breaks and a consistent schedule. Milo walks nicely on leash and loves his yard time.

Ideal Home

Milo would do best in a home where he can have a predictable routine. He enjoys the company of other dogs but prefers to dine separately to avoid any potential food guarding issues. His ideal person will understand that building trust takes time and that his occasional mischievous behaviors, like counter surfing, are part of his unique charm.

Ongoing Health

Milo has some separation anxiety that improves with time and reassurance. No other health conditions are noted.

Training & Support

Milo is a counter surfer and knows he shouldn't be, but will sneak a snack when he thinks no one is looking. Consistent training and a structured environment will help him build confidence and manage his anxieties. His future person will need patience and a good sense of humor to navigate his endearing quirks.
