Milo

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Milo was born around August 2021, is approximately 35 cm tall and weighs around 16 kg. After living in a foster home in Germany for a short time, he was able to find his forever home in August 2022 and has been a beloved family member for over four years. His family is now looking for a new home for him with a heavy heart, as his pronounced barking behavior is increasingly straining their coexistence. Despite many efforts and professional support, no sufficient improvement could be achieved. Therefore, we wish for Milo a home that better suits his needs. Milo is extremely people-oriented, friendly and affectionate. He loves to lay his head on your lap, lovingly nudge you and enjoy having his belly rubbed. He has lived harmoniously with three children and cats for years. He also greets strangers calmly. Aggressive behavior towards humans or dogs has not been observed so far. Milo enjoys being active outdoors. He particularly loves forest walks, sniffing, digging and search games with hidden treats. After about an hour of exercise, he is usually satisfied. He can relax well at home and enjoys cozy hours on the sofa or in his basket. Milo is clever, learns quickly and masters various commands such as sit, stay, roll and "dead dog". He loves thinking and sniffing games and, according to his family's experience, can also be reliably called back in the open, as well as by whistle signals. His hunting instinct has been well controlled so far. He also masters car rides calmly. An important special feature is his pronounced barking behavior. Especially at home, Milo often reacts to the smallest noises and movements with sudden, loud and sometimes prolonged barking. He also shows this behavior when left alone. Despite around two months of intensive care by an experienced dog trainer, this could not be sufficiently reduced. His new people should therefore be able to cope with this behavior in the long term. Longer regular alone time is not suitable for Milo at the moment. Milo is house-trained and overall vital. Due to a misalignment of a front leg that occurred early, he occasionally limps briefly after lying down for a long time when getting up, but then runs normally again. A veterinary check-up would be useful. He shows anxiety and retreats during thunderstorms and fireworks. We are looking for dog-experienced, patient people in a rather quiet environment who have a lot of time for him and appreciate his loving nature. Walks, sniffing games and cozy cuddle hours should be part of everyday life. Above all, we wish for a home where Milo can finally feel welcome and at home with all his lovable sides and quirks. We look forward to your inquiries! He has been examined by a veterinarian, dewormed, flea-free, chipped, vaccinated, neutered and tested for Mediterranean diseases incl. Leishmaniasis, with EU passport and Traces. The adoption fee is 595€.

Milo ist ca. 08/2021 geboren, etwa 35 cm groß und wiegt ca. 16 kg. Nachdem Milo eine kurze Zeit in einer Pflegestelle in Deutschland lebte, durfte er im August 2022 sein Zuhause finden und ist seit über vier Jahren ein geliebtes Familienmitglied. Schweren Herzens sucht seine Familie nun ein neues Zuhause für ihn, da sein ausgeprägtes Bellverhalten das Zusammenleben zunehmend belastet. Trotz vieler Bemühungen und professioneller Unterstützung konnte keine ausreichende Verbesserung erreicht werden. Deshalb wünschen wir uns für Milo ein Zuhause, das besser zu seinen Bedürfnissen passt. Milo ist ausgesprochen menschenbezogen, freundlich und verschmust. Er liebt es, seinen Kopf auf den Schoß zu legen, liebevoll anzustupsen und sich ausgiebig den Bauch kraulen zu lassen. Seit Jahren lebt er harmonisch mit drei Kindern und Katzen zusammen. Auch fremden Menschen begegnet er entspannt. Aggressives Verhalten gegenüber Menschen oder Hunden wurde bisher nicht beobachtet. Draußen ist Milo gerne aktiv. Besonders Waldspaziergänge, Schnüffeln, Buddeln und Suchspiele mit versteckten Leckerlis machen ihm Spaß. Nach etwa einer Stunde Bewegung ist er meist zufrieden. Im Haus kann er gut entspannen und genießt gemütliche Stunden auf dem Sofa oder in seinem Körbchen. Milo ist clever, lernt schnell und beherrscht verschiedene Kommandos wie Sitz, Platz, Rolle und „Toter Hund“. Er liebt Denk- und Schnüffelspiele und lässt sich nach den Erfahrungen seiner Familie auch im Freilauf zuverlässig zurückrufen, ebenso über Pfeifsignale. Sein Jagdtrieb war bisher gut kontrollierbar. Autofahrten meistert er ebenfalls entspannt. Eine wichtige Besonderheit ist sein ausgeprägtes Bellverhalten. Vor allem zu Hause reagiert Milo auf kleinste Geräusche und Bewegungen häufig mit plötzlichem, lautem und teilweise anhaltendem Bellen. Auch beim Alleinbleiben zeigt er dieses Verhalten. Trotz rund zweimonatiger intensiver Betreuung durch eine erfahrene Hundetrainerin ließ sich dies nicht ausreichend reduzieren. Seine neuen Menschen sollten daher dauerhaft mit diesem Verhalten umgehen können. Längeres regelmäßiges Alleinbleiben ist für Milo derzeit nicht geeignet. Milo ist stubenrein und insgesamt vital. Aufgrund einer früh entstandenen Fehlstellung eines Vorderbeins humpelt er gelegentlich kurz nach längerem Liegen beim Aufstehen, läuft anschließend aber wieder normal. Eine tierärztliche Kontrolle wäre sinnvoll. Bei Gewitter und Feuerwerk zeigt er sich ängstlich und zieht sich zurück. Für Milo suchen wir hundeerfahrene, geduldige Menschen in einer eher ruhigen Umgebung, die viel Zeit für ihn haben und seine liebevolle Art zu schätzen wissen. Spaziergänge, Schnüffelspiele und gemütliche Kuschelstunden sollten zum Alltag gehören. Vor allem wünschen wir uns ein Zuhause, in dem Milo mit all seinen liebenswerten Seiten und Eigenheiten dauerhaft willkommen ist und endlich ankommen darf. Wir freuen uns auf Eure Anfragen! Er ist tierärztlich untersucht, entwurmt, entfloht, gechipt, geimpft, kastriert und auf Mittelmeerkrankheiten inkl. Leishmaniose getestet, mit EU Pass und Traces. Die Schutzgebühr beträgt 595€.

About Milo

What life with Milo looks like

Milo is a medium-sized adult mixed breed dog waiting at Tierrettung International e.V. in Germany.

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 Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Dogs and cats typically leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with an EU pet passport.

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. Tierrettung International e.V. 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 — Tierrettung International e.V. 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. 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 Tierrettung International e.V. 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.
