Adopt Milu

My story
PACK’s evaluators first met Milu at the Sanzhi animal shelter in July 2024. Compared withother dogs, Milu seemed to have had previous experience being cared for. He was particularly good at making eye contact with people – calm and not overly excited but appearing to like people and happy around them. Initially, we thought Milu was a shy, introverted dog. However, after enrolling in PACK Academy, he became familiar with his surroundings and the people around him. Milu turned out to be very affectionate and playful. It turns out he’s just a little slow to warm up, but once he does, he’s a charming little guy who surprises everyone! We noticed that Milu is cautious in unfamiliar environments, but after a few days, he becomes more relaxed and starts to enjoy playing. Although Milu looks tough and strong, he actually acts like a sweet, innocent child once you get to know him!
Personality
Milu is polite and well-mannered. His favorite activities are going for walks and eating – he’s quite the foodie! He may not have had much socialization with the human world, so he’s a bit cautious in new places or around unfamiliar things. However, Milu is very receptive to new experiences and learns quickly!

At home, Milu mostly likes to rest, only getting excited when it’s time to eat or go for a walk.

Temperament
Before Milu has adjusted to a new environment, he can be a little shy. But after just a few days, he becomes very affectionate, playful and relaxed, showing his true colors.

Role
Milu is a well-behaved follower, especially when there are treats involved – then he becomes even more eager and active!

Adaptability
Milu is adaptable and quick to accept new experiences. For example, after just one ride in the elevator, he got used to it right away!
Foster Family Says
Milu is an incredibly gentle dog. When he first arrived, he was shy and seemed uninterested in both people and other dogs. But now, he’s much more comfortable and loves being petted by us. He enjoys playing with our dog too, and even though our dog wasn’t very friendly to Milu at first, Milu quickly accepted the pecking order and avoided conflicts.
Medical History
My health has been checked:

Touch

Behavior observations
There are some common behavior issues that we see in dogs who have spent a significant amount of time in a shelter. We assess our dogs for these behaviors and provide training plans for adopters to help manage them.

Separation Anxiety
No signs of separation anxiety have been observed.
Aggression
Milu has shown no aggression.
Resource Guarding

Destructive Chewing
Milu enjoys chewing. He’s chewed on his bed before, but he’s easily redirected to chew on toys instead. Be sure to provide him with durable chew treats!
