This adorable red tri puppy is Mila. She’s seven months old and an absolute delight. Mila has had a lot of change in her young life. Her original family decided she had too much energy for them and turned her into a shelter in rural Virginia. Luckily, an ARPH volunteer works with that shelter and we happily brought Mila into our program.
Like any Aussie puppy, Mila has a lot of energy, but she’s incredibly well socialized and does great with her older foster brother and sister. Typical of many young Aussies, she’s a little timid when meeting new people, but she warms up quickly. She’s curious about her foster cat siblings as they are very new to her. If Mila tries to chase them a quick call by her foster mom brings the chase to an end.
Mila rides well in the car and does fine on her leash — her foster mom works with her daily and she’s learning from her foster brother and sister. But remember, she’s a puppy and will need to continue her training.
Sweet Mila is crate trained. When she’s in her crate she snuggles with her toys and her baby blanket.
Mila currently weighs 36 lbs and she’s pretty tall. Her foster mom thinks she’ll grow into a beautiful lean girl!
She is very affectionate and enjoys some good couch time cuddling. She can easily entertain herself by going into the toy bin and pulling out toy after toy. Outside, Mila loves to run and play and is super fast!
The perfect home for Mila is one that will be dedicated to continuing her training and understands the needs of an Aussie puppy. She’s great with other dogs, but would be fine as an only dog IF there is plenty of human interaction and companionship.
Mila is being fostered in Frederick, Maryland. If you’re an approved ARPH adopter, contact Karen.
