Do you like hugs? So does Milky Way!! Milky Way is learning how to be a dog - and he's already found out that good dogs love their people and can hop up to them for hugs and snuggles. He's always excited to see his humans and loves to follow them, giving them kisses and hoping for their petting.

When Milky Way lived in foster, he lived with and did well with their big Shepherd dog and knew to respect and avoid their grumpy old Shih Tzu. He listens well and is learning leash skills.

He came to APA! with hydrocephalus, so can be a little clumsy on his walks. Milky Way processes the world a little bit differently than other dogs and needs repetition and plenty of treats to learn the basics. At home, he likes to sniff around outside and chew on parsley in the garden. Then he loves snoozing in his dog bed, sleeping nicely in his pen when his fosters are away. He's also working on his potty-training.

This happy, well-mannered boy will do well in a variety of homes. He will continue loving to have a guide dog buddy who can continue teaching him the ropes. Come meet him. He'll be so excited to see you!

INTERESTED IN FOSTERING?

This pup is currently located at our Town Lake Animal Center (1156 W. Cesar Chavez, but use 1200 Reserve Road for mapping purposes). We'd love to show them off to you! To learn more about them, head in any day between 12:00PM - 6:00PM. We are open 7 days a week! Go to Building B and ask to speak with a Matchmaker about fostering this pup. You will sit down and discuss all we know about them and, if it's a good fit, get to meet them then! Please budget for a wait time unless you arrive right at opening as we cannot dictate walk-in traffic (wait times tend to be highest in the evenings and on weekends). If this pup ends up not being the best fit, we have so many other pups in need that we can suggest for your household on the spot!

Come meet your new best friend
