Milo is a young adult pup who truly has it all—he's smart, loving, and ready to find his forever family!
He absolutely adores kids and has a sweet, gentle personality that makes him a wonderful companion for a family home. Milo already has great manners and knows commands like “sit” and “go lay down.” He's also doggie door trained, making daily life that much easier.
On walks, Milo does well on a leash, though he can get a little excited and bark when he sees other dogs—he just gets happy to see them! The best part is, he shows no aggression and responds well to correction, even backing off appropriately when another dog sets a boundary.
Milo loves to play—fetch is one of his favorite games, and he'll happily bring the ball back every time. At home, he's a dream companion:
Sleeps through the night (and would love to share the bed!)
Only chews on his toys and chew bones
Gets excited to greet you but settles down quickly
He's also a polite eater, never rushing his meals and sometimes even leaving a little behind.
Milo understands boundaries and will stay when asked most of the time, showing just how smart and eager he is to please. He's the kind of dog who will continue to thrive with love and a little guidance.
Why you'll love Milo:
Great with kids and other dogs
Well-trained and well-mannered
Playful and fun (hello, fetch!)
Non-aggressive and respectful with other dogs
Smart, loving, and eager to please
Milo's Ideal Home
Milo would thrive in a home where he can get love, playtime, and continued guidance. He'd do great with kids and would love to have another dog to play with.
Milo is ready to bring joy, companionship, and lots of tail wags into your life.

Meet the Adoption Criteria. Before you do anything else, make sure you meet our adoption criteria. You must be at least 21 years old. You must live within a 60-mile radius of Richardson, Texas. You must share veterinary records for all pets currently in your home and all pets owned in the last five years. All pets in the home must be spayed or neutered. If you rent your home, you must provide verification that pets are allowed on the property. You must be willing to be interviewed by an adoption counselor and you must undergo a home visit from an RHS representative.
Apply. You can complete an application at one of our Meet The Pets events or complete it online by either clicking the button below or the “Adopt” button beneath the pet's photo in the listings above.
Phone Interview or Attend a Meet the Pets (MTP) event. This is a great opportunity to meet the pet you are interested in and see if you connect. We hold these events once a month on Saturday from 1:00-3:00 p.m. We post the pets who are expected to attend on Friday evening on our Facebook page. For exact details and locations, view our event calendar. If an event is over a week away, a counselor may contact you for a phone interview.
Home Visit. If all the steps above are completed satisfactorily, we will set up a home visit where you can meet the pet you are interested in again and the pet can meet other pets in the family. We will try to send the foster parent so you can learn more about how the pet is in a home environment.
Complete Adoption. If all feel it is a good match, we will schedule the adoption at MTP or an off-site location. The applicant will need to complete the adoption contract and pay the adoption fee. Our adoption fee is $250 for adult dogs, $300 for puppies (under 1 year) and $125 for cats. Discounts are available for senior-aged pets.
