Milo (4)

Mixed Breed · Male

ARE YOU THE ONE MILO IS SEARCHING FOR? Milo is an Akita who was crated all day and totally unsocialised before he came into our care. He is very playful and knows his basic commands but he would ideally need to be rehomed with owners who know the akita breed as he can display their traits of protectiveness and stubbornness. He is also strong on the lead. Milo needs an adult home and he needs to be the only dog. We have done such a lot of work with Milo but we are looking for a new owner who would continue our work and further his retraining. They would need to visit the kennels on several occasions to get to know and bond with him. It will be really rewarding to see him continue to progress and blossom after the unfair life he has had. Are you the one that Milo is waiting for? – the one who will work with him to reach his full potential for the first time in his life.

About Milo (4)

What life with Milo (4) looks like

Milo (4) is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at Doris Banham Dog Rescue in North Hykeham.

An 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 Milo (4), answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Milo (4)?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Doris Banham Dog Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Milo (4) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Milo (4) if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Doris Banham Dog 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 Milo (4) 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 Milo (4) 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 Doris Banham Dog Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Milo (4) 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.
