Milo

Poodle · Male · Adult · 5 years

Meet our Poodle Milo! Milo arrived at Battersea with six of his siblings from another rescue. Unfortunately, we have no information about their previous history. Milo, like all of his siblings, has found our busy London site quite challenging. Milo is worried lad, lacking in experience with the outside world. Once alone on foster, Milo became a different dog and started to accept and enjoy some affection from his foster carers. He is an insecure boy and does tend to over bond to people very quickly, and struggles to be left on his own. He will need new owners with very minimal leaving hours who can give him a long settling in period, and build time alone very gradually. Milo was quite worried outside when he first arrived trembling in our paddocks but has since made significant progress , really enjoying his walks, gaining confidence, and exploring a little more as the days go on. Milo can be a little erratic on the lead when out walking in unfamiliar places which can be a bit of a trip hazard. However, when confident and familiar with his environment Milo is an active boy and walks very well. He will need to be the only dog in the home due to showing undesirable behaviour and jealousy around attention and resources when in a home with another dog. Milo has been on foster with a cat and could live with an independent aloof cat that is happy to allow him to have all the affection and cuddles from his humans Milo is looking for a dedicated family who are happy to commit the time needed to help him settle into a new environment and build his confidence. He would suit owners with some previous experience of anxious dogs who are confident in reading dog body language and advocating for his needs. For these reasons, he is also looking for a home with a private garden and a quiet location. If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Milo, you can e-mail our rehoming team on to register your interest.

About Milo

What life with Milo looks like

Milo is a adult poodle dog waiting at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home in London.

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. Battersea Dogs & Cats Home 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 — Battersea Dogs & Cats Home 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 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 Battersea Dogs & Cats Home 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
