Milo (Pierce County, WA) - Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler and Cattle Dog Dog for Adoption in Mount Vernon, Washington

Meet Milo!

Milo is a young pup with a big heart and an adventurous spirit. He loves being outdoors, enjoys walks, and is great on a leash. Whether he's hiking, exploring, or playing fetch with his favorite frisbee, Milo is happiest when he's active and spending time with his people.

This friendly boy greets new people with excited wiggles and is wonderful with other dogs. He especially enjoys games of chase, wrestling, and tug-of-war, making him a fantastic companion for a home with another playful dog. While he hasn't had much experience with children, he has reacted well when he has met them in public.

Milo is a cuddle bug who loves being close to his humans. He has experienced some separation anxiety, but with consistency and patience, he continues to make great progress. As a young pup, he is still mastering potty training but understands the concept and, with consistency, does very well. He is food-motivated, eager to learn, and responds well to positive reinforcement.

Like any young dog, Milo is still learning and will thrive with a family committed to continuing his training and helping him grow into the amazing companion he's meant to be. If you're looking for an affectionate, playful, and loyal best friend who will happily join you on all of life's adventures and then curl up beside you at the end of the day, Milo may be the perfect match.

Milo is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on his core vaccines. He is being fostered in Pierce County, Washington.
