About Milo
Milo has been a family pet now needing a new loving home. Ideally, he needs another dog for company, especially if he is going to be left alone at home much during the day.
He is best suited to being an outside dog as he has been known to disgrace himself in the house. He could easily be trained to use a doggy door and most of the time he will go outside to the toilet, but we cannot guarantee it.
He is very clean, obedient, gentle, and only barks when he is bored or left alone. He has grown up with children so would be ideal for a young family or equally a retired couple/single person.
He has a beautiful caramel and cream coat that does require a lot of maintenance. His coat is not a shedding one, but it does grow quite quickly and is very thick. Regular grooming would be required (a professional groomer would charge approximately $50 each visit) as the coat can become matted if not brushed frequently. We recommend that Milo's coat be clipped short during summer season - prime TICK time! He is going to our groomer to be clipped which is long overdue.
Milo has a gentle personality and is very easy-going. There would be no aggression with him as he loves everybody once he gets to know them.
He needs a medium to large backyard so that he can have plenty of room to run around in during the day if he wishes to. A daily long walk would be good exercise for him as well.
All in all, he is a beautiful boy and promises to make a fantastic family addition.

Adoption details
The first step is to phone (preferred ) or email Port Macquarie Animal Welfare Service for assessment regarding prospective ownership and pet suitability.
Adoption Application forms must be completed and include a vet reference and photos of yards and fencing. A property inspection will be carried out on properties in the Port Macquarie area.
New dog owners must have a fully secure, fenced yard offering protection from all types of weather, subject to approval by PMAWS.
A 2 week trial period commences on the day of adoption.
All PMAWS dogs & cats are desexed, vaccinated, heart & intestinal wormed, flea & tick treated.
Introducing a Kitten/Cat into a new home (especially where either a dog or cat already lives) can be a difficult challenge. It requires patience, perseverance and supervision.
Once your new kitten/cat arrives home, it should be made to feel safe in its own room - we call this the "sanctuary". \ No other cat or dog should be allowed into this room. The kitten/cat will need bedding, food, water, a view out of a window and somewhere to hide. A good idea in dog and cat families is also a 2 metre tall scratching post, where a kitten/cat can retreat if it needs to.
Keep the kitten/cat in a room for the first few days, then, gradually, using a series of wooden chocks (or similar), open the door slightly to allow paws and noses to meet. It can then be opened further to allow the kitten/cat in and out, but not the older cat or dog in. We recommend that this should be continued for 14 days.
PMAWS urges all owners to keep their cats indoors.
