**Background Story. From Foster to Fabulous!**
Introducing Mila, the pint-sized dynamo who was born into the foster system when her mom, the fabulous Kate, was rescued. Growing up in a loving home, Mila has mastered the art of being adorable and is ready to take on the world!

**Personality Traits. Brains, Beauty, and a Splash of Goofiness!**
According to her foster mom, Mila is not just a pretty face; she's super smart and has a personality that can light up any room! In fact, she's so clever that she once picked up her own harness and proudly trotted over to her foster mom after watching her put it on her brother. We think she's just trying to show off her skills- "Look, Mom! I can do it too!"

Mila loves to snuggle up with her humans, especially during bedtime, making her the perfect cuddle buddy. You can always count on her to keep you warm as you drift off to sleep! Plus, Mila has shown that she doesn't get into anything she shouldn't and doesn't chew on objects lying about the house, which is a huge plus for any family.

**Summer Splashing Fun!**
During the summer months, Mila comes to life with her favorite activity: playing in her puppy pool! She loves to splash around and fetch balls from the pool, turning any hot day into a fun-filled adventure. If you sit or stand still long enough, you may find her settling down at your feet, claiming her spot as your loyal companion.

**Loves Children**
Mila is great with children of all ages, bringing joy and laughter to their playtime. However, being still a puppy, she can be a bit rambunctious, so some supervision during playtime is always a good idea. While she's submissive with the other dogs in her foster home, she can be a little shy when meeting new dogs or encountering unfamiliar situations. When she's feeling nervous, her adorable squeaky bark makes an appearance-it's like a tiny alarm bell that says, "Help! I'm a little unsure!

**Shy Girl**
Mila tends to take a little longer to warm up to men compared to women, but with time, patience, and treats, she'll reveal her sweet side to everyone! She would thrive in a home that includes both men and women, as she loves to be part of a diverse family.

**Tennis Ball Obsessed!**
And when it comes to her one true love-tennis balls-Mila is relentless! If you're not throwing the ball fast enough for her liking, she'll give you the 'I'm-not-leaving-you-alone-until-you-help-me' look. With a likely sprinkle of Labrador in her mix, she brings that classic Lab enthusiasm for playtime. Plus, she's an excellent car rider and has no issues with car sickness, making her the perfect travel companion! Whether she's lounging on the couch or making a puppy pile with her siblings, Mila is all about love and fetch!
