About Milo
The word ‘walk’ isn’t in Milo’s vocabulary. He likes to get places quickly and prefers to run wherever he can. It doesn’t matter if it’s to the local park, or the couch, Milo will get there in record timing. As a greyhound, he feels it’s best to use his gift of speed at every opportunity he can!
Milo is best described as an excitable little kid. He’s playful, energetic and finds joy in the simple things in life. He would be best suited to an active family who will walk him regularly and play with him in the backyard, throwing toys so he can zoom around and show off his excellent sprinting skills.
Unfortunately during a race Milo suffered an injury to his hock in March 2020. This still gives him some pain and will require ongoing management. Apart from this, Milo is a chirpy boy who is happiest around humans. He thinks he owns the house and will ‘bed surf’ throughout the day, ensuring no soft spot is left untouched. Although he loves his cuddles, he’s not overly needy and would be fine as an only dog.
Milo finds some dogs over-stimulating so ongoing training will be required to help his manners on his walks

Adoption details
Dogs are pack animals and Greyhounds, in particular, are very familiar with being surrounded by other dogs in their racing kennel environment. For this reason, when left alone without people or other dogs for company, they can be prone to separation anxiety which can manifest in destructive and/or noisy behaviour. Yes, they may "grow out" of it after a few weeks in their new home, but why put the dog through that stress to ultimately live all day alone, while everyone is at work? As a result we do not rehome dogs into households where they are left on their own for more than 4 hours per day, without either people or another dog for company.
During the COVID crisis, not all of our rescued Greyhounds will have the usual socialisation with other dogs so we may advise to use a muzzle in some situations until the dog is fully socialised.

Following your initial application, we conduct a home check. Our dogs are placed on a two week trial. The adoption fee is paid at time of placement and reimbursed if the trial is unsuccessful.
After the trial period is deemed successful, the adoption process is finalised.
