Milo’s story comes with a bit of mystery—and a lot of heart. Turned in by his owner on 3/24/2026 alongside his friend Koda, this handsome boy was originally labeled a Staffordshire Terrier, though he looks more like a Lab mix to many who meet him. What’s not in question, though, is his personality: Milo is pure sunshine.

At 7 years old, you’d expect a slower pace—but Milo clearly didn’t get that memo. He’s full of happy, steady energy, and carries himself like a dog who still believes the best part of life is just around the corner.
