Milo

The definition of a gentle giant. Milo is a Great Pyrenees mix and an absolute dreamboat! He has eyes that will stop you in your tracks and a smile that will melt your heart.

We believe that with the right introductions Milo will make a great playmate for another friendly pup! He is untested around cats.

With the right guidance and structure, Yoda's intelligence and eagerness to please promise great potential for growth.
