PET OF THE WEEK: Rescued Powder Puff Milo a Happy Gentleman

Many might not know that Houghton’s shelter also saves dogs. One of them is 2-year-old Milo, a cute little Chinese Crested Powder Puff rescued from a hoarding situation in Bellingham.

The powder puff breed has fur, unlike the traditional Chinese Crested hairless type. Milo's fur, and the fur of other dogs rescued with him, was badly matted, so he has been shaved. It won't be too long before his coat grows long and beautiful again.

Milo weighs 10 pounds and is an absolute sweetheart. He has figured out the potty training thing really quick. He is a dream to walk with and though he is fine with other dogs, he would more than likely do best being an only child.

He is OK around children but prefers adults. Milo is crate-trained and he loves to run and play. He's a super happy dog and a total gentleman with great manners. He's had all his shots and is perfectly healthy.

Milo will make a loving companion for someone. If you are interested in giving him a home, see www.meowcatrescue.org or call 425-822-6369.
