Milo

Milo is a special little guy searching for a patient and experienced home.

Although we know he is bound to attract LOTS of attention (he’s gorgeous!), it is important that his future home has a lot of experience with anxious and reactive dogs, as Milo has the tendency to be a bit naughty!

He has made an enormous amount of progress in the 2 weeks that he has been with us at AAPS. When he first arrived, he was distrustful and stressed – he wouldn’t allow anyone to place a collar around his neck or clip on his lead, and his anxiety made him act unpredictably. Considering all the change that has happened in the past 6 months of Milo’s life and losing his special person, it is understandable why he was so weary of new people in such an unfamiliar place.

Although he still bites on his leads (he prefers to take YOU for a walk, not the other way around!), he has made fantastic gains in his confidence and has formed some lovely bonds with members of the staff here. It is important to note that he may always be initially weary around new people or in new environments, and that his owners are patient with him and set him up for success by doing slow and steady introductions.

Milo doesn’t mean any harm – he is a sweet little boy with so much love to give! He is not very fond of other dogs and has never lived with cats, so he will need to be the only furry friend in his forever home.

Although we are told he has interacted positively with children in the past, for the time being it is best that Milo lives in an adult only home.
