metro pet market's feature dog: milo (ADOPTED)

After 1203 days in foster care with The Pack Project Milo is adopted!!!!!
Milo's journey as we know it began as a young pup of about 7 months old during the summer of 2016 when he was picked up as a terrified, starving stray in Yorkton, SK. It was quickly determined that shelter life was not suitable for Milo. A rescue agreed to take him and off to Melville he moved. After a few weeks of living in a foster homes back yard because he was too terrified to go in the home, and terrified of anyone getting too close to him the networking began to find him a different foster home situation. The Pack Project had a foster willing to try. Nov 11, 2016 is the beginning of Milo's story with us.
Terrified of the kennel, car ride and new surroundings when Milo is let into his new foster home he immediately takes refuge under the bed, and this is to become his new safe place for the next 3 years.
Weeks are spent hand feeding Milo chicken and cheese in an effort to gain trust. No eye contact or touching is permitted these first few weeks. Slowly he comes out more and more during the day. Eventually touching using feet only is permitted, then he learns to sit for treats and not run when being spoken to. Then comes touch where he learns to "boop" for treats. To become one of his favorite activities even with strangers. The entire time Milo uses his foster sisters, the resident dogs in his foster home to bolster his courage and help him learn so many things. He totally loves his foster sisters. After 3 years in care his transformation is amazing. He has such a huge personality. So full of joy, fun and attitude! He totally loves playing tug, going for walks, telling stories, quiet time cuddles and of course his sisters (or almost any female dog for that matter!) There were many ups and downs, 2 steps forward 1 step back, tears, frustration, and triumphs all in the hopes that one day he would be a safe, happy and adoptable dog.
The saying "it takes a village" holds so true and TPP wants to thank so many who helped get us to this special day. From the original people who got Milo off the streets and to a safe environment, to the rescue and fosters who tried to help him first. Thank you to all the supporters of TPP who donate so many supplies that are needed. So many treats to earn trust, food to get and keep him healthy when he wasn't able to get to the vet yet. All the blankets he used, shredded in fear and frustration, all the collars he chewed off himself when learning to accept them so he could go outside and learn to walk on a leash. All the friends and other volunteers at TPP who came to meet Milo to help him learn that strangers weren't bad, just new people to give him treats!
Special thanks to Metro Pet Market for sponsoring his neuter when he was finally able to get out to the vet. And extra big thanks to the staff at Albert North Veterinary Clinic who made special allowances for Milo with his fear of confinement, and being touched by strangers. They were awesome when he walked in for the first time early in the morning all soaking wet and filthy because he walked with his foster mom 5km in the rain to get to his neuter appointment! He still wasn't about to get in a kennel or a car.
And most of all a huge thank you to his new dad who after reading Milo's bio wasn't at all put off by this boy with special requirements. He came many times to meet Milo in an effort to help Milo feel as comfortable with him as possible. And after all the visits and treats it was decided to try moving Milo to his home. And it has been successful. Milo is still a bit reserved about his new environment, but gains trust in his new dad every passing day! He will be the only child and therefore get all the love and attention he deserves. Lots of long walks, playing tug and especially extra training which his smart little brain needs to keep him entertained. He will still get to visit his loved sisters on occasion which I'm sure will bring him much joy as well.
This is the best ending we could have hoped for and though it did take a long time it is so worth it when you see the joy this little dog has for life when he is comfortable and feels safe. Happy tails Mr Milo! We will continue to watch for updates on how your new life is going!

My name is Romeo, I am an overgrown puppy who just wants to play and have fun. I am very happy and energetic so I would love an active family. I can sit, lay down, come when called, wait for the okay when fed, and shake a paw. I am very smart and really need an owner who can take the time to show me how to be a good boy and teach me new tricks. I can jump very high so I need a home with a tall fence (6ft). I like to bark and tell people about my day but I will stop when asked. I have anxiety when left alone but if you give me a bone or a stuffy I will be happy till you get home. I do love meeting new people and dogs! I need a family that will let me go at my own pace but once I get to know you I will love you forever.

Heeeeeere’s Tony!! Hello! My name is Tony and I am a bundle of excitement, fun, and LOVE!! And did I mention that I just want to be loved? At only 1 year of age, I have accomplished house training, been neutered, and am up to date on my vaccinations. My foster mom tells me that as a young dog I must have missed out on exposure to new things like puppy socialization opportunities and basic manners, but I don’t worry about that because I’m making up for lost time with how smart and willing to learn I am.

My foster mom is often telling me what to do and what not to do to help me figure out house rules like not jumping up on the counter, or the couch, or not to help myself to the garbage can. I now know that this is impolite but I do better when someone can keep an eye on me and remind me. When my human foster brothers hang out with me I will revert to my old tricks if they’re busy playing “Forknife??”.

I am good in my kennel (but would rather be with you jus’ saying) and will go in for the night without a fuss. I have learned some basic commands like sit, down, shake, and am learning roll over. My biggest accomplish is learning to “wait” which seems like a drag but my foster mom tells me it’s helping me with controlling my excitement. I still struggle with my excitement, especially in new situations, because I just really want everyone to see that I LOOOOVE them.

My favourite thing about my foster home is my people but also that I get to go on a long walk every…..single…..day. I am an active, fit, young guy so my walk is very important and my foster mom never forgets. We live in a small town so she lets me explore on a long leash to get my sillies out and then she makes me walk nicely on a shorter leash. I am understanding the idea of the shorter leash but my new family will need to help me out with this too.

I love to fetch a ball or frisbee and am pretty good about at leaving it when asked. My mom says I’d be very good at dog agility! My foster mom is helping me explore the world so I’ve mastered car rides and have even been to work, which is fun because……….people!!!!

When I’m not sure of something, I look to my foster mom to tell me that it’s okay and then I’m fine. I’ve been to doggy daycare a few times and they told my foster mom that I’m a little timid around excited dogs but I’m good with a nice quiet friend to hang with. I also got to meet some kitties and was really nice to the ones that were nice to me but I was unsure about the ones that tried to box me in the nose. I love my teenage human foster brothers but I get a little excited with the 6 year old and have to be reminded not to jump. I haven’t been around very little kids. I feel like there is so much more to share about me but if you want to know more, please contact the Pack Project!

mickey

Name: Mickey
Best Breed Guess: Retriever Cross
Age: 9-10 months
Weight: 55 pounds
Sex: Male

Hello there! My name is Mickey and I am looking for my furever home!
I am a big boy with lots of energy, so I do need a family with an active lifestyle and I do very well with other dogs! I even have a foster sister who is a cat, but I don't really pay much attention to her. I love living with other dogs, and do very well having other dogs around to play with.
I am working on being kennel trained and I sleep in the kennel every night. I am in the kennel during the day as well, and when my foster parents let me out I give them lots of kisses and love. Sometimes I get anxious in my kennel and don’t like to be left alone, but I am getting better all the time.
I am a big teddy bear and I really do love to snuggle up with people. Sometimes I forget how big I am and try to sit on people's laps. I can be quite silly and roll around on my foster parents.
My foster parents are so proud of me for my house training skills! I know that I’m supposed to go to the bathroom outside in the yard, and I'm working on learning my manners. I am only a puppy still, so it's hard for me to always remember to be polite and not jump up!
If your looking to add a big cuddly goofball to your family, I will be your best friend.

rufus

I am a real snuggle bug. I love to lie on you and give lots of kisses once I get to know you and any other members of the family. I am cautious when meeting some people and may take longer to warm up to them. Once I am around them for a while, I will settle down and enjoy playing and snuggling with them.

I am working on my kennel trained and will go in if you throw a treat in for me. I do prefer to snuggle up in bed with you if I get the chance. I will come to you when I need to go outside to do my business.

I am also trying to learn not to chase the cat in the house but it is really hard and I do forget. I can play tug of war with you and I love to play with my toys. I also get very excited when I know I am going for a walk. I really like chew toys and chewing treats. Currently learning to sit and come when called and I am willing to learn and especially love getting treats!

My foster family says I am a sweet boy with lots of love and need someone who will be patient with me while I adjust to a new home and I will repay you with lots of snuggles and kisses. I would be an excellent companion and family member, a lifelong friend and I can't wait for my forever home!

We have more dogs coming soon!
