Milo

Lurcher · Male · Adult · 4 years

Milo is a handsome Lurcher with a wonderful, gentle nature. Calm, loving, and affectionate in the home, he's a fantastic companion who enjoys spending time with his favourite people. Milo loves meeting new people and is always happy to receive a gentle fuss. He is fully housetrained and can be left alone for a few hours, although this should be built up gradually as he settles into his new home. When it comes to exercise, Milo is in his element! He loves visiting secure fields where he can stretch his legs and enjoy a good zoomie. He can be strong on the lead at times, but he's an intelligent and engaging dog who learns quickly and enjoys working with his handler. Recently, Milo has developed some lead frustration around unfamiliar dogs, which means he may become vocal or appear unsure when approaching them on walks. He would benefit from quieter walking areas and patient, controlled introductions to other dogs. Once he gets to know them, he enjoys their company and can make good canine friends. Milo is looking for a home where he can be the only pet, allowing him to enjoy all the love and attention for himself. He would also be best suited to a family with children aged 12 years and over. If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate companion who loves both relaxing at home and having fun outdoors, Milo could be the perfect addition to your family.

About Milo

What life with Milo looks like

Milo is a adult lurcher dog waiting at Greyhound Rescue Wales in United Kingdom.

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. Greyhound Rescue Wales 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 — Greyhound Rescue Wales 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 Greyhound Rescue Wales 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.
