Foster Milo Update: our time with Mr. Milo came to an end last week. We shared how wonderful he is and now he’s just waiting on the perfect person to adopt him!

It was insanely sad to part with him but our main goal is to foster to show the personality of the dog to all of you and I believe we did that and after a few weeks we will take in another for a time to give them a shelter break and show them off. Thank you all in spreading the word for Milo!

Been thinking about microchipping your pet?
We'll be at Petsense Madison Heights on Sunday, February 8th !

Microchips don't just reconnect you back to your missing pet, it's also proof of ownership if someone disputes who owns the animal.
It's a responsible way to help your pet in the future.

We will register the chip for you!

Foster Milo:

Still looking for the perfect home for this sweet boy!

Great with kids and other dogs, a fenced in yard is probably needed to run off energy, and he’s great in car rides

The crate has been open and a comfortable place in our living room for him to go the past few days and today, Carol helped treat train him to go in. Thank you Carol D’Olympio! I’ve posted a picture of her card below
