Milo

*ON TRIAL* Milo is a quiet little soul who likes to curl up next to you on the couch. She enjoys gentle pats and just being wherever you are.

Dear, sweet little Milo would like a peaceful home where she can retire and be doted on by her favourite person: you.

Sometimes, when you make a fuss of her, her inner puppy resurfaces and she leaps in the air like she has springs for legs and then does zoomies around the house. These little displays of joy are exquisitely endearing in this older, usually reserved lady.

Although it’s recently been discovered that a ball also brings out her inner puppy!

Milo would prefer to be an only dog and cannot be placed with cats. I am told that in her day she was a master snake killer and quite the athlete. She now has some arthritis in her knees so likes to take it easy and potter around the place trailing her favourite person, taking in the elusive doggy sniffs that detect magical details of which we’ll forever be unaware.

This refined lady has a very short, low-maintenance, single-layer coat and as such doesn’t seem to shed much. She is mostly toilet trained but will need supervision to enforce this in her new surrounds.

I suspect there are traces of Italian Greyhound in this lovely girl, with her lean, athletic figure and her elegant, long legs and muzzle but her gorgeous prick ears belie some other influence. One can only guess at her mystery genealogy.

At the age of 11, her silly days are long gone but being a small dog she will still have plenty of time to spend with you, as little dogs often have quite long lifespans.

Do you think you could share your retirement with sweet Milo? Older dogs are such great company. If you are interested in this loyal little mate, please see the application instructions below.
