Milkshake

My story

Meet Milkshake! This 1-year old cookies and cream delight came to us from local animal control after coming out of a realllly bad situation. But don’t worry, Milkshake doesn’t hold a grudge – he simply lives in the moment with SOOOO much love to give and reminds us of the resilience of dogs and their ability to thrive despite surviving the horrors of humans. We’ve actually had Milkshake in our rescue for months as we tackled some unknown medical issues with a neurologist. After many tests, it seems like this goofy gent is just a little wobbly on his feet, but that doesn’t stop him from living a totally normal life (and, for the record, his best life ever). We call it extra swagger, and he wears it well! In fact, he may be more of a boozy s’mores milkshake with his slightly unsteady gait but that just adds to his charm.  Milkshake is a brand-new soul! He can’t just walk anywhere – he simply must gallop with delight and wonder with his thick thighs, eager to soak up all that life has to offer. He is the snuggliest of love bugs, adores being close, and is the best cuddle buddy, ever. Milkshake is house trained, and crate trained, takes treats with soft lips, and is the BEST calorie-free sweet treat. And freckle lovers rejoice! Milkshake’s chocolate chip freckles are everywhere and so, so adorable. His black eyeliner, velvety coat, and freckled nose are absolute perfection. And those ears! There are no words! Despite his obvious good looks, Milkshake’s biggest gift is love…equally giving and receiving like an extra absorbent sponge. He wears his heart on his sleeve and truly wants everyone and everything to love him back (humans, dogs, and even grumpy cats). Our vanilla bean man is a classic and the perfect blend of savory and sweet…he just might be mixed with crispy, sweet applewood-smoked bacon chopped and mixed for a salty crunch. Quirky, but resoundingly loveable, and then some!  Milkshake is sugar, spice, and everything nice, and is ready to pour love into his forever family. Due to his size, and lack of history and body awareness, older or no kids would be best for this big guy. Milkshake’s top 3 priorities: 1. A family who lets him be his quirky self and loves him for it!  2. A family who is looking for an innocent being and will shower him with love and affection, so he never remembers his past.  3. A family dedicated to lots of snuggle time and one who allows dogs on the furniture and in bed for extra closeness! Not being close is seriously not an option for this loving gentJuly 1, 2025, 11:46 am
