Milo

Mixed Breed · Male · Young · 1 year

Poor Milo! He has been at the animal shelter almost since he was born, and since then he has mainly known only life behind bars, despite this he is very sunny, a small dog sweet and affectionate, currently weighs about 15-16 kg and was born in April 2025, he will become a contained medium size. The mother is also a Brittany, very sweet. Milo is the last puppy left, the six siblings and the mother have all found adoption. It's so unfair that he is the one who remained alone! Milo is still a puppy, he is happy, he doesn't know that he risks staying in the box for life if he doesn't find adoption now that he is little. Milo continues to trust everyone, to give affection and to wag his tail, because he is a puppy and has a pure heart that doesn't know malice. Milo will be placed vaccinated, microchipped and spayed after pre-adoption checks.

Povero Milo! È al rifugio praticamente da quando è nato, da allora ha conosciuto prevalentemente solo la vita dietro le sbarre, nonostante questo è molto solare, un cagnolino dolce ed affettuoso, attualmente pesa circa 15-16 kg ed è nato ad aprile 2025, diventerà una taglia media contenuta. La mamma è una bretoncina anche lei molto dolce. Milo è l'ultimo cucciolo rimasto, i sei fratellini e la mamma hanno trovato tutti adozione. Che ingiustizia che sia rimasto solo! Milo è ancora un cucciolo, è felice, non sa che rischia di rimanere in box per la vita se non trova adozione adesso che è piccolino. Milo continua a dare fiducia a tutti, a dare affetto e a scodinzolare, perché è un cucciolo e ha un cuore puro che non conosce la malizia. Milo verrà affidato vaccinato chippato e sterilizzato dopo controlli pre affido.

About Milo

What life with Milo looks like

Milo is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Rifugio San Francesco in Italy.

An 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 Italy

Italian canili require adopters to sign a stewardship contract (affido) and may retain the right to verify the animal's wellbeing post-adoption. Animals are chipped and sterilized before leaving (Legge 281/91). Public canili rifugio typically waive adoption fees.

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. Rifugio San Francesco 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 — Rifugio San Francesco 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. 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 Rifugio San Francesco 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 (IT). 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.
