 Mila
needs a home
Hi! My name is Mila. I am eight months old and lots of fun! I am
a Sheba Innu mix and get along with everyone, dogs, cats, people,
birds, you name it! I have lots of energy but love to curl up on the
couch with you. My foster mom says I am a good foot warmer at night
too! I am very loving and would love to meet you! I have been
spayed, up to date on shots and micro-chipped. If you would like to
meet me or be a foster home to someone like me, call the Humane
Society at 737-4042.
