Milo

Milo is a shaggy, cuddly teddy bear 🧸

"I am the sweetest, most loyal companion you could find. I am perfectly house-trained (I know not to go on any furniture except my bed, and can stay inside overnight with no issues, and also inside during the day for hours if needed).

I am not destructive at all (chewing etc). I am very obedient with all my commands (“sit”, “stay”, “on your bed”, “back”, “wait”, “outside”, “settle” etc), and am especially good at mealtime, where I will wait until you’ve said “okay” before I eat my dinner, even if you’re out of sight! Truth be told though, sometimes I huff like a teenager when told to get on my bed, just so you know that I don’t want to, even though I am doing as you ask.

I like to be outside for most of the day, but love to sleep inside, and particularly love to lie at your feet inside and relax at the end of the day. I will quietly approach you with my biggest puppy dog eyes and shaggy head for snuggles and pats. I like to follow you around the house, just to be near you, but don’t need to be on you or in your face (which is good, because I am 33kg!).

I only bark to let you know if there is something nearby that is different. I am not particularly fond of the postman because of his/her motorbike, and also don’t love the mower so will bark at it while you try to mow (I am just trying to protect you, promise!).

I love casual walks and sniffing new smells, but don’t need to go for regular runs etc. I like the beach and digging in the sand, but I am confused about waves – are they trying to get me?

I love people, and can get excited when meeting new ones. That said, I am responsive to being told to “settle” and know that I won’t get pats and attention until I am sitting calmly, so I get over the excitement quickly to get to the pats!

Little people (under the age of 12) make me nervous, so I would prefer a home where there are only bigger kids or adults.

I am ok with cats if they are inside, but if they are outside, I can’t help to chase, unless I am on a lead, in which case I am very well behaved. I love having a doggy friend at home, but I like to be the boss-dog, so would prefer to meet any potential new housemate before moving in together 😊."

Milo has been very loved and would be best with a doggie friend
