Milo is a 1-year-old Mini Australian Shepherd in North Las Vegas, NV, who needs $1,500 for exploratory surgery.

Milo came into my life on my birthday this past year during quarantine. He is a blue Merle mini Aussie (I know it doesn’t look like it but he has Merle on his back left paw 🐾. We went to go “look and play” with him and he stole my heart while we were there. The very next day my girlfriend got him for me. He has a sister and her name is Luna and they love each other.

Milo gets along with everyone. It wasn’t that way at first! We have one roommate and Milo didn’t like him at first and would always bark at him in the morning but he learned that roommate = safe. He loves our other mini Aussie so much. He follows her everywhere! I can’t say the same about her though.. she just tolerates him haha.

I lost my job twice due to this pandemic and I had no savings at the time. It would mean the world to me to make sure Milo is okay. Milo and my other pupper Luna keep my depression at bay. They both make me laugh every single morning and show me unconditional love.

It’s an emergency because we brought him to the vet and they did an x ray twice and bloodwork. So far it seems like he has a obstruction in his bowels and they are keeping him overnight to try fluid therapy. If that doesn’t work they are going to proceed with surgery. Right now he is at Ann road animal hospital being treated by doctor Williams.

He’s such a weird doggy and I love him so much. He always sleeps at your leg and even when you move it, he gets up and moves himself and lays on your leg no matter how tired he is. Upon waking up, you will always wake up to his head on your chest staring up at you and he always does one singular lick. He has so much character in him.
