MEET MILO — A SURVIVOR READY FOR HIS FOREVER HOME It’s hard to imagine everything Milo has been through and even harder to understand how, after all of it, he is still such a gentle and loving soul. Milo is estimated to be around 6 years old and weighs about 45 lbs. He was rescued from the streets of Tijuana in heartbreaking condition. He was severely emaciated, nothing but skin and bones, and suffering from terrible mange. His body told the story of a dog who had been struggling for far too long. But Milo never gave up. ❤️ After several weeks of treatment, Milo has now been medically cleared to leave the kennel and continue his recovery in a home. He still needs to gain weight and regrow his beautiful coat, but we already know there is a handsome boy waiting to emerge. More importantly, his personality has already begun to shine. Despite everything he has endured, Milo is incredibly sweet, gentle, and good with other dogs. Even while living in a small kennel, he does everything he can to keep his space clean, waiting until he is taken outside to go potty. We believe this sweet boy understands what it means to keep his living space clean and may transition wonderfully into home life. Milo does have entropion, a condition affecting his eyelids, and we are hoping to get him into surgery as soon as next week so he can finally be comfortable. What Milo needs now is something medicine alone cannot give him: a home. A soft bed. A person to love. A place where he can finally understand that he is safe and that he will never have to fight to survive again. We would love to find someone willing to look beyond what Milo looks like today and see the dog he is becoming. With good food, continued care, patience, and love, we know this sweet boy is going to blossom. ❤️ After everything Milo has survived, his next chapter deserves to be his best one. Interested in meeting Milo and helping him continue to blossom? Please contact his foster, Steph: 619-253-6195 pephmyers@gmail.com Even if you cannot adopt, please share Milo’s story. His forever person may be just one share away. ❤️
