Milo was surrendered to a Colorado shelter by a breeder in 2008. He’d lived at least 2 weeks of his infant life being fed sugared water instead of milk. We were told that he was blind, deaf, and had had at least one seizure. His future was uncertain, but he certainly needed to be rescued.

Milo came home on September 19th, 2008. He walked in circles, but didn’t walk into walls. He responded to sounds. A month after he had settled in, the seizures began. The first night he had 5 seizures spaced several hours apart. Over the course of the next several months we saw numerous vets, including a canine neurologist, that diagnosed Milo with a slew of disabilities. Vision impairment, brain damage, poor motor skills, and a continued regimen of two anti-seizure medications a day. The neurologist saw no reason to consider Milo a candidate for euthanasia. After all, Milo didn’t realize there was anything wrong with him. With the seizures under control and tactics in place to prevent Milo from falling down the stairs, we were well on our way to providing a happy home for this wonderfully special boy.

Milo turned one year old in July 2009. The anniversary of his rescue passed in September, and he continues to enjoy living life to its fullest. Because of his brain damage he doesn’t understand simple training commands. Unfortunately, he doesn’t understand the concept of potty training either. When the weather is formidable, he spends most of his time in the yard, his favorite place in the world, in the company of his brother and sister. He loves to run laps and chase his tail, and always finds the best shaded spots.

Milo's medical care can sometimes be costly. In addition, he requires a special soft crate and non-raveled towels to sleep on. Milo has a permanent forever foster home with us, but would you please consider contributing to his medical care? Milo would love to find a sponsor, or a donor here and there :)
