Milo

Lurcher · Male · Young · 3 years

Meet Milo! Milo is an absolute sweetheart and a real people-lover. This lovely boy is happiest when he has your undivided attention and, if he had his way, he’d spend his days right by your side soaking up cuddles and affection. He really is a needy cuddle bug. Milo enjoys having some off-lead time in our secure compound, where he loves to stretch his legs and have a good run around. But it doesn’t take him long before he comes trotting back to your side, ready for some more fuss. He can be a little mouthy when he gets over-excited, especially when he desperately wants your attention, so he’ll need someone who can help him learn to manage that excitement and give him some positive guidance. He is just a gorgeous boy with a huge love for people. If you are looking for a loyal companion who will happily follow you around, and shower you with affection and make sure you never feel lonely, Milo could be the boy for you. As Milo is a real people dog and thrives on having company, he would be best suited to a home where someone is around most of the day. Milo has interacted with other dogs whilst in our care, and he doesn’t seem too interested in them so we feel he would be best rehomed as the only dog in the home where he can get 100% of the fuss and cuddles. No cats or small furries for Milo due to his breed.

About Milo

What life with Milo looks like

Milo is a large young adult lurcher dog waiting at Manchester & Cheshire Dogs Home (Manchester) in Manchester.

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. Manchester & Cheshire Dogs Home (Manchester) 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 — Manchester & Cheshire Dogs Home (Manchester) 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 Manchester & Cheshire Dogs Home (Manchester) 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.
