Milo

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Milo has just turned 2 years of age, he is a very handsome GSP x Foxhound Terrier who is a very bouncy, boisterous boy who also has a very sweet, kind nature and is described as a gentle giant. His owner had to make the sad decision to find Milo a new home because of her ill health which stops her taking care of his needs. Milo’s owner did say that he needs to be rehomed with a family who are extremely active, as he has lots of energy and will chew sometimes or steal things to get your attention. Milo enjoys the company of other dogs of all sizes and will happily play with them, his owner said that he seems to learn from larger breeds. He loves his long walks and is used to being walked by a dog walker, he is strong on the lead and does pull, so this will need work. His recall also needs work because he loves free tuning and he hasn’t been regularly exercised while his owner has been so poorly. He also loves playing with his ball and will play for hours given the chance. While playing ball on the local field if another dog arrives he does like to run over to say hello, even though he doesn’t always understand why not all dogs want to play with him and some see him as full on. Milo will need a secure garden because he has been known to find the smallest gap and squeeze himself out of it and usually ends up playing on the exercise field. When left at home Milo is left in his crate where he feels happy and relaxed, he can be left for 3-4 hours after exercise. He has been trained not to beg for food while the family are eating, but if food is left around he can be an opportunist and take it. Milo hasn’t met any cats so his reaction is unknown. He also hadn’t been around livestock so careful introductions would be needed. Around small children he tries to be well behaved but because of his boisterousness he could easily knock a little one over. With older children he is fine and happy to play ball with them. Milo is neutered, crate trained, and does recall to a whistle when there aren’t any distractions around, when traveling he has been car sick in the past but doesn’t routinely travel in the car. If you feel you can offer this very sweet boy an active life with further training please contact us. Milo is currently in the Yorkshire area and will be rehomed with his 5 weeks free Agria insurance and our Adoption Contract.

About Milo

What life with Milo looks like

Milo is a extra-large young adult mixed breed dog waiting at GSP Rescue UK in United Kingdom.

An young 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 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. GSP Rescue UK 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 — GSP Rescue UK 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 GSP Rescue UK 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 (the shelter's own language). 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.
