Mylo

Meet Mylo, a spirited and affectionate two-and-a-half-year-old Chihuahua from Bakersfield, CA, whose playful personality is as big as his heart. With his sleek black coat and expressive eyes, Mylo is full of life, energy, and just the right amount of sass!

This little guy is always up for fun! He loves chew toys, playing with other dogs, and going on exciting walks where he can explore the world around him. When it’s time to wind down, he’s all about snacks, cozy naps, and curling up beside his favorite person at bedtime. If you’re looking for a companion who will keep you entertained during the day and snuggle with you at night, Mylo is the perfect match!

While he starts off timid and alert, once he feels comfortable, his playful side shines through. He gets extra excited during playtime, sometimes nibbling in a cheeky but affectionate way. Mylo is protective of the people he loves, so he may need some gentle training to help him understand boundaries. With patience and positive reinforcement, he’ll thrive and become an even more well-mannered companion.

Mylo gets along well with other dogs, especially those who love to play as much as he does. He’s a bit cautious around bigger dogs at first, but once he realizes they’re friendly, he’s more than happy to romp around with them. His experience with cats is unknown, but his friendly and curious nature suggests he could adjust with proper introductions.

He does well when left alone for short periods, though he enjoys attention and would love a home where he gets plenty of interaction. He isn’t a fan of being left alone in a crate, so a family who can offer him space to run around would be best.

Neutered and microchipped, Mylo is ready to find his next loving home where he can play, cuddle, and be his fun-loving self. If you’re looking for a small dog with a big personality and lots of love to give, reach out to learn more!
