Milo

Border Collie · Male · 8 months

This stunning boy is a typical young Border Collie. He has nothing but enthusiasm for life and everyone he meets! Milo is good with all people and dogs but could do with some help with having calm greetings and walking sensibly on a lead. He would thrive in an active home where his needs, activity level and intelligence can all be met. Milo has had some good basic training but does need a family who will commit to continuing his education. He could live with a tolerant dog and children from the age of 10, purely due to his bounciness! He loves going out for adventures in the car and travels really well, he is pretty much house trained but may have the odd accident until he learns his new routine. Milo is comfortable being left at home for up to 4 hours and is crate trained. This boy will make a fantastic addition to a fun loving, active family! Someone is going to be very lucky to have him. Awaiting vet check and neutering.

About Milo

What life with Milo looks like

Milo is an adult border collie dog waiting at Ferne Animal Sanctuary in Chard.

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, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Milo?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Ferne Animal Sanctuary handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Milo on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Milo if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Ferne Animal Sanctuary 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is 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 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 Ferne Animal Sanctuary early rather than rehoming privately; they know 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.
