Milo

Jack Russell Terrier · Male · Senior · 10 years

Milo - I'm a Jack Russell Terrier born on January 3, 2016. I'm white and brown, male, and neutered. I'm full of energy and still young at heart. I've been in the shelter due to a government measure. I'm top-notch for my age and full of energy, but I haven't learned to look at people and orient myself around them. I haven't had much training either. Despite this, I'm a great, peaceful companion with a big heart. I love pets and generally get along well with other dogs. Sometimes I'm a bit too energetic. If you get to know me, you'll see that I've been pretty self-sufficient so far. I could often decide for myself where I go and what I do. This is evident when I'm on a short leash - I like to run with a lot of slack. I'm also familiar with a flexi leash and make full use of its freedom. 😉 I'm looking for people who want to work with me a bit and give me something to live for. People who understand that I need to be on a leash outside and who can still give me beautiful, varied walks. I don't want to just be managed - I want to experience and belong. A second dog could be a good fit if we get along. I'm not suitable for other pets. Very important: I absolutely hate being alone. My new home should spend as much time with me as possible and not leave me alone for long periods. I also have a heart murmur, which will be further investigated so that my future home knows what to watch out for and what I need health-wise. I may not be a perfectly trained dog and can be a bit energetic at times, but I'm a peaceful, lively guy who isn't ready for retirement yet. ❤️ I want people who don't blame me for my past, but show me that a dog's life can be beautiful with rules, trust, and lots of shared experiences. Who's up for many walks, adventures, and a quirky but lovable companion like me?

Hallo, ich bin Milo – und ich habe noch ganz schön viel Lebensfreude im Gepäck! Durch eine behördliche Massnahme bin ich im Tierheim gelandet. Für mein Alter bin ich noch topfit und voller Energie – ich möchte noch erleben, entdecken und einfach dabei sein. Auf den Menschen zu schauen und mich an ihm zu orientieren, habe ich bisher leider nicht wirklich gelernt. Auch Erziehung durfte ich nicht besonders viel geniessen. Trotzdem bin ich ein toller, friedlicher Kumpel mit einem grossen Herzen. Streicheleinheiten liebe ich und auch andere Hunde finde ich grundsätzlich klasse. Manchmal bin ich dabei einfach etwas zu stürmisch . Wenn man mich ein wenig kennenlernt, merkt man schnell, dass ich mein Leben bisher ziemlich selbstbestimmt führen durfte. Ich konnte offenbar oft selbst entscheiden, wohin ich gehe und mit wem ich was unternehme. An der kurzen Leine zeigt sich das deutlich – da laufe ich gerne mit ordentlich Zug voraus. Die Flexleine kenne ich ebenfalls und nutze ihren Freiraum natürlich voll aus. 😉 Ich suche deshalb Menschen, die Lust haben, mit mir noch ein bisschen zu arbeiten und mir auf meine älteren Tage das eine oder andere mitzugeben. Menschen, die verstehen, dass ich draussen an die Leine gehöre , und die mir trotzdem schöne, abwechslungsreiche Spaziergänge ermöglichen. Ich möchte nicht einfach nur verwaltet werden – ich möchte noch etwas erleben und dazugehören. Ein zweiter Hund könnte mir durchaus gefallen, wenn die Chemie zwischen uns stimmt . Bei anderen Haustieren bin ich hingegen nicht geeignet. Ganz wichtig: Alleine bleiben mag ich überhaupt nicht. Mein neues Zuhause sollte deshalb möglichst viel Zeit mit mir verbringen können und mich nicht regelmässig lange alleine lassen. Ausserdem wurde bei mir ein Herzgeräusch festgestellt. Das wird noch genauer abgeklärt, damit mein zukünftiges Zuhause ganz genau weiss, worauf zu achten ist und was ich gesundheitlich brauche. Ich bin vielleicht kein perfekt erzogener Hund und sicher manchmal etwas stürmisch – aber ich bin ein friedlicher, lebensfroher Kerl, der noch lange nicht zum alten Eisen gehört. ❤️ Ich wünsche mir Menschen, die meine Vergangenheit nicht zum Vorwurf machen, sondern mir zeigen, dass ein Hundeleben auch mit Regeln, Vertrauen und ganz viel gemeinsamen Erlebnissen wunderschön sein kann. Wer hat noch Lust auf viele Spaziergänge, gemeinsame Abenteuer und einen etwas eigenwilligen, aber liebenswerten Kumpel wie mich? Geboren : 3.01.2016 Rasse : Jack Russell Terrier Farbe : weiss – braun Geschlecht: männlich / kastriert

About Milo

What life with Milo looks like

Milo is a large senior jack russell terrier dog waiting at Tierheim am Böhler in Unterkulm.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇨🇭Adopting from Switzerland

Swiss shelters require a home visit (Platzkontrolle) and proof of suitable accommodation. Cantons each have their own additional dog-keeping requirements (e.g. SKN training in some areas). Animals leave sterilized and chipped.

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. Tierheim am Böhler 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 — Tierheim am Böhler 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 Tierheim am Böhler 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.
