If you’re looking for a calm, affectionate companion who will always be by your side, Mila is the perfect match. She’s a Velcro dog through and through—whether she’s burrowing under the blankets at bedtime, lounging under your desk while you work, or curling up for an evening of TV, she just wants to be near her person. Mila’s Daily Life & Personality Mila starts her day with a gentle morning routine, going outside for a sniff session while you sip your coffee. She enjoys these peaceful moments but is not an overly active dog—she prefers short walks in nice weather and then is happy to relax for the rest of the day. During work hours, Mila naps under the desk, occasionally stepping outside for a potty break. She doesn’t engage much with other dogs but coexists politely with them. In the evening, Mila has a silly side! She gets zoomies, spins in happy circles when you call her playfully, and loves tossing around her Lambchop plush toy. It’s one of the rare times she really gets excited, and it’s adorable to watch! Mila’s Ideal Home A calm, low-key household where she can be the center of attention.She can live with dog(s) but would be just as happy as the only pet.She’s polite with cats, as long as they respect her space.A home where she can snuggle, lounge, and enjoy cozy moments with her person. Mila’s Perfect Manners & Care Needs Fully potty trained, crate trained, and leash trained. Non-destructive—she free roams the house without issue. No chewing, digging, or excessive barking—only alerts when someone is at the door. Low-maintenance coat—she doesn’t require regular grooming beyond occasional brushing and baths. Sensitive to cold—she loves sweaters, blankets, and warm cuddles. Why Mila is Special Mila has a motherly, gentle personality that makes her a wonderful emotional support companion. She’s deeply attuned to her person’s emotions, offering quiet companionship and unconditional love. Her loyal, loving nature makes her the perfect match for someone who wants a dog that’s more than a pet—Mila wants to be your best friend. If you’re searching for a devoted, snuggly, and well-mannered companion, Mila is ready to be your tiny, loving shadow. April 12, 2025, 10:20 pm
