Mio

Meet Mio, a tender seven-month-old Jack Russell Terrier from Los Angeles, CA, whose soft white-and-tan coat is only rivaled by the warmth of his cuddly nature! Small in size but big on heart, this little guy is still discovering the world—and looking for the perfect lap to curl up in while he does.

Mio is the kind of pup who prefers quiet observation over rowdy romps. While he’s a bit shy with new faces (both furry and human), his gentle demeanor wins hearts in no time. And once he trusts you? Get ready for some serious snuggle sessions—he’s a cuddle pro through and through! With a favorite ball nearby and a few walks each day, he’s content to keep life low-key and full of love.

Though he hasn’t had formal training yet, Mio already knows “lay down” and is crate trained. He’s the type who enjoys routine, handles alone time like a champ, and finds comfort in cozy, familiar spaces. The great outdoors can make him a bit nervous, so patient encouragement and a safe backyard where he can explore at his own pace would be a dream come true.

Mio does well with chews to keep his little teeth happy and only needs the occasional grooming to stay handsome, which isn’t hard—he’s pretty adorable naturally! He’s not one for high-energy hijinks, but what he lacks in zoomies, he makes up for in quiet loyalty and sweet companionship.

He’s looking for his next family that will offer a gentle hand, a calm environment, and maybe even a yard where he can build his confidence under the sunshine! If you’re someone who values peaceful moments, soft cuddles, and the slow blossoming of trust, Mio may be the perfect addition to your life.
