Milo Freckles the soulful distinguished gentleman

My story

I don't know what I love more, those cute little freckles that he has on the top of his nose or his tender-hearted personality. There truly isn't much that I love more than a big dog with teddy bear vibes and that is the best way to describe Milo Freckles. He truly is a big ole softie, a distinguished gentleman, a natural sweetheart with people, kids, and dogs. Honestly everything about is sweet and gentle. Watch Milo's video and fall in love with the gentlest of gents out there: https://youtu.be/AkiVu6z29p0?si=FAqVg7_B-WhFpF2t Milo is a pittie mix approximately 4 years old that currently weighs 68 lbs with all of the aspirations of being a wannabe lap dog and is a gentle big baby (which is not an exaggeration LOL). He is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it's always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age. Milo is incredibly friendly with everyone he meets and has a great appreciation for booty scratches. If you find that perfect spot, he'll even arch his back a little and do this slow body wiggles making sure you get all the right spots. When Milo greets new people, he is more on the shy side but it does not take long for him to be leaning into you for affection and slowing inching his way into your lap. That's why we like to call him a distinguished gentleman because of the way he shows his affection with gentle nudges and thoughtful closeness. He's never over the top either or love bombing you with you kisses. He gives you just enough and will gladly offer more if you ask. It's the perfect mix. Milo dog friendly and did great meeting all of the dogs we introduced her too. His gentle natured personality even shows it self when meeting new dogs. He'll do a little sniff, say hello and then he's off doing his own thing, finding a spot to lay in the grass and bask in the sun, or getting affection by the people in the yard. Milo has met a handful of dogs, all with different personalities and has even been with some wild younger playful dogs and was tolerant of their youthfulness as well. He is not a playful guy with other dogs, he gives off more of the laid back, distinguished gentleman, hang back and watch type vibes around other dogs. He is completely unbothered when other dogs are playing around him having a good time and is even tolerant when the dogs accidentally bump into him during a play session. He just stands there and has this look of, "oh sorry friend, I didn't realize I was in your way." LOL that really is the best way to describe him, a chill laid back gentleman. In a home, Milo would be best placed with a dog that has the same temp as him. A dog that enjoys the company of other dogs, isn't wanting a playmate or interested in playing with other dogs, and will respect that Milo isn't a playful guy. He would also do great as your one and only too if you don't have other dogs. He does not need the company of another dog to help him feel comfortable with other dogs or to fulfill his energy needs. Milo is a loving boy all on his own and he super laid back. He has also spent time with our house cat Biggie and wanted absolutely nothing to do with him. Milo would give Biggie space every time he approached and was even a little scared of Biggie LOL. Almost like he has never seen a cat before and Biggie was some sort of alien and did not have any interest in getting to know him. You'll see in his video where, Biggie jumps on the couch and Milo had the immediate reaction of, "oh gosh, no thank you, I'm gonna leave." It was cute because it just goes to show that Milo is a total baby. We do not know if Milo has ever lived in a home with a cat before nor can we guarantee that things won't change once in the home. We do believe that with slow and proper introductions that Milo has the potential to live harmoniously with a dog-savvy kitty. Want to know where his gentleness also shines? If you guessed with kids, you're absolutely right! Milo has spent time with kids as young as 4 years old to 12 years old and he was such a gentlemen around both of them. The second that he walked into the room and saw Elijah (12) and Kobe (4), he immediately went up to both of them and in the exact same manner that he does with everyone he meets. Cool, calm, and collected, but when he saw the kids and met them, it was almost like a breath of fresh air for with them. You'll see in his video just how relaxed and at peace he was being around both of them. It was the sweetest thing when both of the kids were just doing their own thing and then there's Milo, calmly standing by both of them simply watching what they were doing and the way he found comfort being near them. You'll also see in his video that he had an actual "smile" being around the kids and the way he would love them in the most gentle way. There were moments where Kobe (the 4 year old) started jumping around and we were singing one of his favorite songs and Milo was just there in the background perfectly blending in with the mix of it all. We believe Milo would be a great companion for a family with kids. Milo would do best in a home with a backyard rather than in the heart of the city with all the hustle and bustle. He's more of a Netflix and chill, movie marathon, dinner at home date night type of guy. He'll gladly go on a leisurely walk through your peaceful neighborhood or hangout with you in the back yard while you garden. It doesn't take much for him to make him happy, he's a laid back home body looking for a cozy bed to sleep on and a family to love him. Milo is very gentle when taking treats, walks like a true gent on leash, is crate trained and potty trained, and has wonderful house manners. We are willing to test Milo with anything you need us to in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know.

We have over 15,000 successful adoptions so far and have excellent Google Reviews: https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about making the perfect match between dog and family for long term success. Our rescue has a 2 acre property in Texas where we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group trainings and socialization play groups to keep dogs adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers support the positive growth of our dogs and we enjoy seeing their progress! Our commitment to comprehensive medical care sets us apart. We've received glowing feedback from veterinarians who commend our dedication to ensuring the health and well-being of every animal in our care with treatments that often go above and beyond. Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet. The rescue’s hard costs alone (excluding transport) for a healthy dog to go through our program typically range between $412 to $859, which includes boarding, food, medications, vaccines, and spay/neuter. For heartworm-positive dogs, hard costs are upwards of $1,368. Additionally, dogs requiring extended boarding, extra training, or extra medical care—such as dental work, vision care, or orthopedic care—can lead to expenses running into the thousands. Also, included in the adoption fee are costs to cover transport up to the Pacific Northwest or East Coast. Transport is a significant additional expense to the rescue. While adoption fees help cover part of these expenses, we want to emphasize that the rescue does not receive government funding and must fundraise to offset the remaining expense balance which ranges $100-1,000++ per animal on these direct costs. It doesn’t stop there!
