Hi everyone, my name is Milo! I’m between 6-8 year old, and a male Shiba Inu. I was rescued from an Ohio puppy mill. I was released with another female Shiba, but we’re not bonded. I had quite a journey to get here! After leaving Ohio, I traveled all the way to Maryland. A DC SIR volunteer met me in Pittsburgh and brought me the rest of the way. I did great on the ride, resting most of the time. When I arrived, I got a bath (which I wasn’t a fan of). I tried to jump out a few times, but the volunteer reassured me, and I eventually relaxed enough to finish. However, I didn’t like having anyone touch my nails. Maybe once we get to know each other better I’ll let you touch them! Then my foster mom picked me up, and I was excited to meet her. She has a young son and two other dogs, and I get along with them just fine. There’s also a cat, and I might’ve tried to chase it (sorry, cat!). We went for a walk, and although I’m not a big fan of harnesses, I tolerated it and did well. I pull a little, but I’m a good walker overall. After the walk, I had dinner and ate it all up. I have a great appetite. I have tons of energy and absolutely love playing! Toys are a new thing for me, but I discovered I really enjoy chasing balls and playing tug-of-war. I’m a little timid when approached, and I don’t like being picked up, but I do enjoy being in the middle of things and getting attention. When it was bedtime, I was a bit stressed at first and barked, but I calmed down and slept through the night. I’m a sweet boy, and with more gentle handling, I’ll be the perfect addition to a family. Could that family be yours? If so, please apply to adopt me!
