Our Pet of the Week is Milo, a one-and-a-half-year-old male brindle Terrier mix.
There's cute...and then there's "totes-adorbs"! Milo is definitely the latter of the two. He is a small dog with a BIG fur-sonality and a playful gaze that just melts your heart. We recommend keeping an extra large bag of dog treats handy, because he loves to learn new tricks to earn those treats!
If you would like to make Milo or any pet from the Moreno Valley Animal Shelter part of your family, please contact the Moreno Valley Animal Shelter at 951.413.3790 or visit moval.org/pets.
