Milton is his fosters' resident geologist. That's because he loves exploring the backyard and finding rocks. He brings those rocks to his foster mom. And then he loves to run around the yard and play and wrestle with his sisters.

Milton can be shy when meeting new people but warms up and quickly gives them kisses. He loves getting belly rubs and sleeping on their laps. He also loves to cuddle with a toy pig and lamb.

Milton is doing well with the three resident dogs and the three teenage children. He's also enjoyed a visiting 18-month-old niece. And he's very curious about the resident cats and careful with them. They aren't interested in him.

This very smart, affectionate puppy loves chewing his toys. He sleeps in his crate at night and does well there when his fosters are away from home. His house-training is going well. He's doing well with puppy pads and goes to potty outside.

Milton will love to move into a calm home with an active family who can take him on walks and outings. He will also thrive with training. Come meet this very lovable boy!

PUPPIES AND OTHER HIGHLY-ADOPTABLE DOGS DISCLAIMER:

Puppies and other highly-adoptable dogs (small dogs or desirable-breed dogs) at APA! are very high in demand and usually have several interested adopters. Inquiring about a dog, meeting a dog, and even applying for a dog does not guarantee that you will be able to adopt the dog. Only one household will be able to adopt each dog, which means all other interested households will inevitably and unfortunately be disappointed. Please consider this in your search and set your expectations accordingly. Please also consider that adult dogs do not typically have competing adopters, and they need furever homes, too! Additionally, APA! does not allow the adoption of dogs who are related (e.g., littermates or mom and pup) to the same household for behavioral reasons.
