Adopt Milo

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Meet Milo, our incredibly fun-loving, intelligent young Lurcher who is looking for his very own adventure partner. This handsome chap is the best of both worlds – full of energy when it’s time for fun, but more than happy to spend his evenings stretched out on the sofa with his favourite people. Milo is a clever boy who absolutely loves his training, especially when tasty treats and toys are involved! He would thrive with adopters who enjoy teaching him new things and can continue making training a fun and rewarding part of everyday life. He has a lovely playful nature and enjoys having plenty of opportunities to use his brain as well as his long Lurcher legs. And speaking of those legs… Milo’s favourite activity is undoubtedly getting the chance to really stretch them! Like many Lurchers, he enjoys having a good run around and would love his own secure garden for playtimes and zoomies. He would also really appreciate adopters who are happy to seek out secure enclosed fields where he can safely enjoy a good sprint. Once he has had the chance to burn off some energy, Milo is more than ready to switch off and show you his softer side. He loves fuss, cuddles and being close to his favourite people, making him a wonderful combination of fun-loving adventurer and professional sofa snoozer! Milo can struggle with his arousal levels around other dogs, particularly when he is excited, but he is making fantastic progress. He is looking for adopters who understand that this is something he will need continued support with and who are happy to help him build on the skills he has already been learning. Milo has also been working hard on becoming comfortable wearing his muzzle, which he wears whilst out on walks. Milo could potentially share his home with another dog following successful meets at the centre. His canine companion would need to be a clear and confident communicator, as Milo can sometimes struggle to recognise when another dog has had enough of playing! A tolerant dog who can set appropriate boundaries would be important, alongside owners who are able to supervise and support their interactions. Milo could potentially live with children aged 14+ who are keen to get involved with his training and playtimes. He can become very enthusiastic when playing and, when his excitement takes over, he can sometimes forget just how long those Lurcher legs are! He is currently learning to keep all four paws on the floor and manage his excitement around people, so sensible teenagers who can understand and follow his training guidance would be best suited. Milo is a bright, affectionate and wonderfully entertaining young dog who has so much potential. With an active family who can give him plenty of opportunities to run, sniff, play and learn, while also helping him develop his self-control, we think Milo will make a fantastic companion. In return, he promises plenty of fun, plenty of cuddles and all the love in the world.Apply to adopt Published: 3rd September, 2026 Author: Katrina Hyde Hovis is Fox Hound looking for his forever home.

About Adopt Milo

What life with Adopt Milo looks like

Adopt Milo is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hope Rescue in Pontyclun.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Adopt Milo, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Adopt Milo?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hope Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Adopt Milo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Adopt Milo if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hope Rescue will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Adopt Milo already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Adopt Milo isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Hope Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Adopt Milo and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
