About Mylo

Mylo is a 4-year-old, 44-pound Australian Cattle Dog mix with a huge heart, playful personality, and unforgettable tongue. He is affectionate, curious, smart, and ready to bring plenty of laughter and companionship to his forever home.

Ideal Home

Mylo would thrive with a moderately active family that can provide daily walks, fetch, yard time, and lots of affection. He plays well with dogs of all sizes and reads their social cues, but he should live in a feline-free home because he has shown interest in chasing cats. He has done well with children, though older children ages 10 and up are recommended because of his jumping and enthusiasm.

Mylo is vocal when excited, making playful growls, grunts, and silly noises. He also prefers to eat separately from other dogs and may occasionally flinch at quick movements or unfamiliar objects. A patient home with routine, structure, and a flexible schedule would help him settle in successfully.

Ongoing Health

Mylo's tongue is naturally longer than his mouth and is usually visible. A veterinarian checked it and found no problem, though he may occasionally need extra hydration. He also has a slight protruding bone at the base of his rib cage, which causes no concern.

Training & Support

Mylo is fully house trained and has been trusted loose when unsupervised. He listens when called, responds well to redirection, and enjoys praise. He is still working on jumping, taking treats gently, and pulling on leash when excited. A no-pull harness or Gentle Leader may make walks easier. He has not been crate trained in his foster home.

Application Details

  • Applications begin by contacting the provider through Wags.
  • After the initial screening, approved applicants will connect with the placement for a video chat.
  • The rescue asks that all household decision-makers be involved and ready to move forward.
  • Mylo's adoption fee is $475.

Transportation

Transport runs every few weeks, and Mylo can travel out of state on the next available transport once his family is approved and ready. A transport destination is listed in Burlington, Vermont.
