Meet Milton, the most charming one-eyed pup you'll ever meet. Milton is truly one of the sweetest and easy dogs I've ever had the pleasure of fostering. He's gentle and sweet with every human and animal he meets. He really is the perfect blend of chill and play. He and my other young dog love to sprint around the yard, play tug-o-war, and wrestle. He walks wonderfully on a leash, and loves to sniff every rock and branch he passes (our walks are pretty slow and chill!). After some playtime or a long walk, Milton will happily lounge around on the couch or at your feet, or keep himself busy with a bone. Milton is crate trained, though I have stopped using one for him, he does great when left out. He doesn't chew or bark and he's completely potty trained. He's great with cats, often ignoring mine all together, but sometimes showing a gentle playfulness. Milton greets everyone at the door with a wag and gentle paw - so if you're looking for a guard dog, he's probably not your guy! He regularly turns heads while on walks and receives comments about his beautiful coat. There's honestly nothing NOT to love about this gorgeous boy.
