Story
Milo was previously listed and found a home but his adopter needed to back out unexpectedly. Milo is 4 years old and good with dogs, cats and kids. He loves to give attention and snuggle in your lap. Milo has a touch of anxiety when meeting new people but he is very loyal and loving. Milo would need to go to his new home this week if possible. Milo comes with a fresh batch of shots too. Thank you!
