Milo

Border Collie · Male

Milo - loyal companion with a big ball obsession Milo is a 10-year-old neutered Border Collie-German Shepherd mix who was moved to the animal shelter due to the illness of his previous owner. The friendly male dog is now waiting for people who want to give him a loving home again. According to his previous owner, Milo is in top physical condition, house-trained, and can easily be left alone. His greatest passion is clearly his ball - he could play with it for hours. He loves exercise, long walks, and activities with his humans. Milo is initially a bit cautious around strangers and needs a moment to gain trust. Once he has won your heart, he develops a close bond and shows himself to be a cuddly, loyal, and loving companion who enjoys spending time with his humans. Milo has lived with his dog friend Lenny for many years. The two understand each other perfectly and give each other security. They can be rehomed together or individually, as long as the needs of each are considered in the new home. Since Milo has only recently moved in, our animal care team is still getting to know him better. His description will be updated in the coming weeks as we get to know him better in the shelter. Milo is looking for people who give him time to settle in and experience many beautiful moments with him. Anyone looking for an intelligent, loyal, and active companion will find a wonderful friend for life in Milo. If you are seriously interested, we would be happy to arrange an appointment for you to get to know him under the phone number .

Milo – treuer Begleiter mit großem Ball-Faible &;&; Milo ist ein 10 Jahre alter, kastrierter Border Collie-Schäferhund-Mix , der aufgrund der Erkrankung seines bisherigen Besitzers schweren Herzens ins Tierheim ziehen musste. Nun wartet der freundliche Rüde auf Menschen, die ihm noch einmal ein liebevolles Zuhause schenken möchten. Nach Angaben seines bisherigen Herrchens ist Milo topfit, stubenrein und kann problemlos alleine bleiben . Seine größte Leidenschaft ist ganz klar sein Ball – damit könnte er sich stundenlang beschäftigen. Er liebt Bewegung, ausgedehnte Spaziergänge und gemeinsame Aktivitäten mit seinen Menschen. Fremden gegenüber zeigt sich Milo anfangs eher etwas vorsichtig und braucht einen kleinen Moment, um Vertrauen zu fassen. Hat man jedoch sein Herz gewonnen, entwickelt er eine enge Bindung und zeigt sich als verschmuster, loyaler und liebevoller Begleiter , der gerne Zeit mit seinen Menschen verbringt. Viele Jahre hat Milo gemeinsam mit seinem Hundefreund Lenny gelebt. Die beiden verstehen sich hervorragend und geben sich gegenseitig Sicherheit. Sie können gerne gemeinsam, aber auch einzeln vermittelt werden , sofern im neuen Zuhause die jeweiligen Bedürfnisse berücksichtigt werden. Da Milo erst vor Kurzem bei uns eingezogen ist, lernt unser Tierpfleger-Team ihn aktuell noch besser kennen . Seine Beschreibung wird daher in den nächsten Wochen ergänzt, sobald wir ihn im Tierheimalltag noch besser einschätzen können. Milo wünscht sich Menschen, die ihm Zeit zum Ankommen geben und gemeinsam mit ihm viele schöne Momente erleben möchten. Wer einen intelligenten, treuen und aktiven Begleiter sucht, wird in Milo einen wunderbaren Freund fürs Leben finden. &;&;&; Bei ernsthaftem Interesse vereinbaren wir gerne einen Kennenlern-Termin unter Telefonnummer .

About Milo

What life with Milo looks like

Milo is a large adult border collie dog waiting at Wally-Bangert-Tierheim Lohr am Main in Germany.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

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. Wally-Bangert-Tierheim Lohr am Main 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 — Wally-Bangert-Tierheim Lohr am Main 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
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 Wally-Bangert-Tierheim Lohr am Main 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 (DE). 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.
