Please help Milo by sharing this page! Milo is a 9-year-old Shih Tzu being rehomed by Rovers Dog Rescue. He's currently in a multi-dog foster home in Essex. He's looking for a child-free home and can live with another compatible dog or as an only dog. He prefers to be the centre of attention. Milo is a typical Shih Tzu, stubborn but affectionate… on his own terms. He does love to snuggle up to his human on the sofa and he loves a good head scratchies! Milo loves his walks and will ignore other dogs if they keep their distance but, if they get to close he will tell them to back off. He's easy enough to manage, even when he's being fierce, bless him! Milo knows his own mind and doesn't like being groomed. This is tricky since the Shih Tzu fast growing fur and claws mean he does have to go to the groomers regularly. Since being in foster, he's been brushed every day and has softened slightly. The groomer he's been going to for a trim is extremely patient and experienced so they have gradually reached an understanding. He does need an owner who will not be a pushover about the grooming issue. When he first arrived in foster care, he was in a terrible state and had to be sedated at the vets to remove all the mats, poor thing. Vets are another one on his list! Not least because he had to have an eye removed recently and was temporarily turned into a lampshade. He hasn't let this slow him down and bounced back straight away, probably enjoying having to be spoon fed while he had his cone on! The wound has healed beautifully and he's completely restored to his usual, sometimes wilful self. Strong character though he is, Milo is a funny, sweet and charming companion. He's the perfect best friend for someone with a sense of humour and a determination with the dog brush to match Milo's own single-mindedness. He can be left for a while at home on his own and he loves car rides!
