Milo

Introducing the charming and energetic Milo, a striking black and tan Kelpie with a gentle personality and floppy ears. This delightful boy embodies the classic Kelpie traits of intelligence, agility and a love for companionship. Milo thrives on activity and enjoys assisting his foster carer with daily farm chores, eagerly lending a paw wherever he can.

During his time in foster care, Milo has bonded well with two other dogs: a wise, elderly blue heeler, whom he treats with great care, and a playful Kelpie of similar age. Their days are filled with joyful Kelpie zoomies, playtime and spirited tug-of-war sessions. However, Milo would be equally content as the sole companion to his human family, soaking up all their attention.

To unlock his full potential, Milo will benefit from continued, patient training. He has good manners during mealtimes, and takes treats gently when prompted. While he enjoys greeting human visitors, he can jump up in excitement which could be overwhelming for very young children.

Milo is house-trained and knows some basic commands, but his focus can waver. His recall varies depending on distractions, so ongoing, consistent training and clear boundaries will help him thrive. He responds well to treats during training sessions and walks well on a lead, although he may become a bit excited around livestock and chickens, necessitating proper management in those situations.

Milo is seeking a home with ample space to explore and a family experienced with Kelpies and working breeds. Although he's not much of an escape artist, he does enjoy investigating his surroundings, so secure fencing is essential to keep him safe. If he will be left alone, a secure yard or dog pen will be necessary to curb his wandering tendencies.
