Meet Mylo a 4-year-old, neutered, 44-pound Cattle Dog mix with a tongue that just cant be tamed and a heart thats even bigger.
Currently in a foster home in San Antonio, TEXAS, Mylo is ready to transport out of state once his forever family is approved and ready to fall in love.
Lets start with the obvious: Mylo has a perma-blep. Thats right—his tongue is just a little too long for his mouth, and its almost always peeking out like hes mid-lick or permanently saying, hi. A vet has checked it out and confirmed theres nothing wrong—he was just born with extra tongue and endless flavor to sample. It doesnt cause him 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—again, no cause for concern, just more proof that this boy was truly born this way. We like to say hes one part goofball, one part model, and 100% original.
Mylo is an affectionate, silly, and curious guy who loves to play and explore. He has a bit of that classic Cattle Dog energy—he thrives with daily activity, enjoys long walks, and loves a good romp in the yard. He plays well with dogs of all sizes and currently lives in a multi-dog home with pups ranging from tiny Chihuahuas to an 80-pound Boxer mix. He does well reading other dogs social cues and adjusts his play accordingly. Hes also very vocal when he plays or gets excited—growling, grunting, and making silly noises are just part of his charm. Once you get to know him, youll realize its just his voice, not a sign of anything aggressive.
He enjoys meeting new dogs on walks, though he might sound a little intense at first—again, that vocal streak—but hes friendly and well-mannered. Hes shown some interest in chasing cats, so to be safe, a feline-free home is best.
Mylo has met children of various ages through his foster family and has done well overall. Due to his occasional jumping and enthusiasm, we recommend a home with older kids (10+) who are steady on their feet and understand how to interact with an active dog. Hes loving and playful, and with continued positive training, will only improve his manners.
This boy LOVES walks and has a zest for getting out and about. He can pull on leash when excited, so a no-pull harness or Gentle Leader may help make walks more enjoyable. Hes fully house trained and has been trusted to stay loose when unsupervised, usually sticking to his gated area and dog bed like a gentleman. While he hasnt been crated in his foster home, hes done very well with the freedom and would likely thrive in a home where someone is around more often than not, or with a flexible schedule.
Mylo is currently fed separately from the other dogs—not because hes aggressive, but because he prefers not to share his snacks or special treats. (Honestly, who among us does?) With his people, though, hes playful, cuddly, and incredibly affectionate. He greets his foster dad with enthusiastic hops and playful vocalizations, looking like the happiest dog in the world—with his tongue hanging out and his tail wagging in full swing.
Hes also very smart and responsive to redirection. He listens when called, loves being praised, and wants so badly to be a good boy. Like many herding breeds, he thrives on routine and benefits from clear communication and a bit of structure. He may occasionally flinch at quick movements or new objects (like a broom), so a patient home that understands his background and lets him settle in at his own pace will help him feel his best.
Heres what Mylo is hoping for in his forever home:
- A moderately active family with a yard or access to one where he can run, sniff, and sunbathe
- A few good walks a day or fetch sessions to burn energy and keep him happy
- A family who will give him tons of love, belly rubs, and attention
- People who embrace his quirky personality and celebrate his uniqueness
- Continued support with basic manners like jumping and treat-taking (hes already working on it!)
- A home with older kids (10+) and maybe a friendly dog buddy or two
- And most importantly: a soft place to land and be loved for exactly who he is
Mylo is a one-of-a-kind pup with a silly smile, a loyal heart, and so much love to give. Hes smart, affectionate, endlessly goofy, and ready to find a family who sees his magic. If youre looking for a lovable sidekick who will keep you laughing, snuggling, and moving, Mylo might be the perfect match for you.
