Milan D14236 (Sponsored)

My story

A portion of my adoption fee has been sponsored by my friends at Tito's Handmade Vodka. The adoption fee sponsorship credit of $375.00 will be applied during the contract process. Hi! My name is Milan and I am from Missouri! From her Foster: Milan is a lovable and incredibly sweet dog who adores her people more than anything. She's fiercely loyal and deeply bonded with her family, always wanting to be by their side. However, her protective instincts can make her a bit anxious when meeting new people. She'll bark to "protect her pack," but with patience, continued training, & proper introductions, she begins to be more comfortable with visitors. Milan's protectiveness does extend to some resource guarding of her people, especially after she forms a strong bond. She might bark at guests when they enter the house, standing guard until they sit down and she feels comfortable. Her family has worked with a trainer to help her overcome this fear-based behavior through games and structured introductions, but this is an ongoing process that her new family will need to continue. Around other dogs and children, Milan is fantastic. She's playful and friendly, especially with her current family's two kids (ages 7 and 4). Milan's boundless energy makes her an active playmate, though her strong prey drive means she might not do well in a home with cats or other small animals she could chase. Milan thrives on daily exercise and needs plenty of outlets for her energy, whether it's long walks, runs, backyard sprints, or trips to the dog park. She's house-trained and listens well when told to "kennel up, though she prefers to be out and about with her people when they're home. She is a lab/shepherd mix so is very trainable and has energy to burn :) As a young pup, Milan still has a penchant for chewing, so a supply of chew toys is essential to keep her entertained and your belongings safe (she sends her apologies to Barbie). On walks, her excitement can sometimes lead to pulling at the start, so some leash training will continue to benefit her. Milan is a loyal, loving, and energetic companion who's looking for a family ready to provide the structure, love, and exercise she needs. If you're up for continuing her training and giving her the active lifestyle she thrives on, Milan will reward you with endless love, cuddles, and loyalty.
