Milo

Lurcher · Male · Young · 2 years

Milo is a cheeky young chap who may eye you suspiciously before throwing his paws around you in the best cuddle once he knows you! He’s really super company and loves to be with people, he bounces around his favourite carers with absolute joy. In his kennel he likes to watch the world go by, happily lazing on his bed, but out on a walk he can sometimes put the brakes on when he’s feeling a little overwhelmed. We give him lots of encouragement for the little wins and he’s making great progress. Milo loves toys and in his previous home he pinched slippers on a few occasions and did snap when his adopter tried to take it from him. He’s been learning to trade and doing very well, understanding that some things have more value than others. His new family should be willing to keep this up so there are no future incidents. Milo is also partial to a little indoor zoomies and anything valuable should be kept out of his range as he leaps from sofa to chair to floor! He’s such a sweet boy and really worth taking the time to get to know, he likes a slow approach and to be able to build a bond with people before he fully relaxes. Milo can live with children age 16 and over and needs to be the only pet at home, though he will walk with quiet friends but tends to avoid interaction. We have limited history for him but we know he is house trained, but he may need any alone time building up gradually.

About Milo

What life with Milo looks like

Milo is a young adult lurcher dog waiting at Dogs Trust Merseyside in Liverpool.

A young 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. Dogs Trust Merseyside 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 — Dogs Trust Merseyside 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. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
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 Dogs Trust Merseyside 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.
