DESCRIPTION
Introducing our gentle giant, Milo! He’s a delightful mix of Belgian Malinois and Anatolian Shepherd, currently 10 months old and weighing in at a sturdy 95 pounds. Despite his size, Milo is an incredibly friendly and playful pup who thrives on interaction and fun.
Milo enjoys engaging with squeaky toys and other noisy things, which keep him entertained for hours. He also loves splashing around in water, making playtime even more exciting. As an active dog, he adores fetch and playing with other dogs, showcasing his playful personality. Having previously lived with a Border Collie, he is well-socialized and gets along wonderfully with his canine companions.
However, Milo can be a little timid around new people and unfamiliar environments, so a patient approach is essential when introducing him to new experiences. He has not been in a household with cats or small children, so it may take time to assess how he will interact with them.
As a strong puller on a leash, Milo requires an owner who can provide firm and confident guidance during walks. This, combined with his youthful energy, means that he is still very much in his puppy phase, and it’s likely that he will continue to grow as he matures.
If you are looking for a loving companion who is eager to learn and play, come and meet Milo today—he is ready to find his forever home!
