Mylo

Meet Mylo – a 4-year-old, neutered, 44-pound Cattle Dog mix with a tongue that just can’t be tamed and a heart that’s even bigger. Mylo is a one-of-a-kind pup with a silly smile, a loyal heart, and so much love to give. He’s smart, affectionate, endlessly goofy, and ready to find a family who sees his magic. If you’re looking for a lovable sidekick who will keep you laughing, snuggling, and moving, Mylo might be the perfect match for you.

Ideal Home

Mylo would thrive in a moderately active family with a yard or access to one where he can run, sniff, and sunbathe. He needs a family who will give him tons of love, belly rubs, and attention, and who will embrace his quirky personality and celebrate his uniqueness. He would do best in a home with older kids (10+) who are steady on their feet and understand how to interact with an active dog, and potentially a friendly dog buddy or two. A feline-free home is best, as he has shown some interest in chasing cats.

Ongoing Health

Mylo has a slightly protruding tongue that is always peeking out, which is a result of being born with extra tongue. A vet has confirmed this is not a cause for pain, but it does mean he occasionally needs a little extra hydration. He also has a slight protruding bone at the base of his rib cage, which is also not a cause for concern.

Training & Support

Mylo is a smart and responsive boy who loves praise and wants to be a good boy. He is house-trained and has been trusted to stay loose when unsupervised. He can pull on leash when excited, so a no-pull harness or Gentle Leader may be helpful. He is still working on manners like jumping and treat-taking, and would benefit from continued positive training. He may occasionally flinch at quick movements or new objects, so a patient home that understands his background and lets him settle in at his own pace will help him feel his best. He thrives on routine and benefits from clear communication and a bit of structure. He is vocal when he plays or gets excited, but this is just his voice and not a sign of aggression.
