Meet Mila!
Mila is a five-year-old Tibetan Terrier with a bold spirit and a heart full of sweetness. Living with her devoted human parents, Sari and Scott, as well as her sister Mikayla and brother Ryder, Mila has always been the loyal protector and gentle soul of the family. Recently, she stepped into a brand-new role: big sister to her furry little sibling, Tashi. Mila is still adjusting to this unexpected life change — not always thrilled, but always patient — while Tashi looks up to her with absolute adoration.
Long before joining her family, Mila’s breeder laughed and called her “a bold one,” and she has lived up to it in the most charming ways. Despite her confident personality, Mila doesn’t have a mean bone in her body. She greets you by proudly presenting her favorite toys, races around the bedroom for her nightly zoomies, and delights in long walks, doggie playdates, guarding her family, and her favorite pastime — playing with a flirt pole meant for cats.
A fun fact: although her parents were told she’d be 18–22 pounds like most female Tibetans, Mila surprised everyone by growing to a healthy 30 pounds — a trait credited to her notably large great-grandfather. Loved dearly by her entire family and idolized by her new sister, Mila is the perfect blend of boldness, sweetness, and unwavering loyalty.
