About Milo Pettibone

Milo is a 4-year-old, 55-pound yellow Lab mix with a heart full of love and a personality that's equal parts sweet, goofy, and delightfully quirky. He enjoys chasing toys, shadows, and sometimes just the sheer joy of movement. Milo thrives on routine and predictability, which helps him feel secure and allows his wonderful, goofy personality to shine. Around the house, he's a calm and loyal companion, but when it's time for outdoor adventures, he celebrates with a unique trot-bark that's full of enthusiasm. He's mostly housebroken but benefits from frequent potty breaks and a consistent schedule. Milo walks nicely on a leash and loves his yard time. He gets along well with other dogs, especially during playtime, but it's best to manage feeding times carefully as he can be protective of his food. Milo is also a talented counter surfer, and while he knows it's not allowed, he has a knack for "borrowing" treats when he thinks no one is looking. He's looking for a special person who understands that trust and confidence are built over time and who will appreciate his unique charm. Once Milo feels safe and loved, he forms a deep bond and becomes incredibly devoted, bringing laughter and joy to his forever home every day.

Ideal Home

Milo thrives in a home that offers routine and predictability. He does have some separation anxiety, but it improves as he learns he will be reunited with his people. He is a counter surfer, so a home that can manage this behavior is ideal.

Ongoing Health

Milo is generally healthy, but it's important to manage his feeding situations to avoid any conflicts with other dogs over food.

Training & Support

Milo is mostly housebroken but does best with frequent potty breaks and a consistent schedule. He is a counter surfer and will need gentle guidance and management to discourage this behavior. Establishing trust and routine will be key to helping him feel secure.
