Australian Kelpie and Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption in Houston, Texas

Meet Milo – Big, Goofy, and Full of Love 🐶💙

Chocolate Lab X Australian Kelpie mix
Weight: 53lbs
Estimated birthday: 11/30/2024

Milo is a high-energy, fun-loving boy with a heart of gold! He loves to play (especially chasing his tail!) and has a silly, clumsy personality that will keep you smiling. After playtime, he turns into a total cuddle bug… he loves hugs and being as close to his people as possible.

Milo plays rough and can be a bit too much for small dogs, cats, or young kids, so he’d do best in a home without them. He also would do best with a fully fenced yard to safely run and burn off his energy.

He is potty trained and will let you know when he needs to go out. Milo is still building confidence with things like the leash, car rides, and his kennel, so he’ll need a patient home willing to help him continue learning.

Milo would thrive in a quieter home with space to play and people who will give him the love (and structure) he needs.

If you’re looking for a playful, affectionate best friend, Milo is your guy! 💙
