Milo

Whippet · Male · Puppy · 18 months

Milo has come into LL's care when his original owner could no longer look after him. He's currently in a foster home in South Yorks. Milo is neutered and has been vaccinated, but didn't get his booster in time, so he is going to have to re-start the vax next week. He's approx 24 ins tts and we don't have a weight for him yet, but will have next week when he has his vax. . Milo will sit, "give a paw" and comes back when playing fetch. He seems to be dog friendly, not sure about cats, but he does chase squirrels and seems fine with children, but as he's full of energy, he might be best with older children. He seems to be house trained but has a bit of an upset tum, so is on a plain diet for the mo and needs to put on a bit of weight. He's walked on a lead when out, but has free running in the garden. He's currently living with an older, smaller dog and is a bit too much for her, as he's a typical zoomy young lurcher. He can get a bit anxious in very busy public areas, so needs some positive reinforcement training. He may benefit from a steady, older companion dog. He travels well in a car, and is used to sleeping in a crate, and take himself off to bed in it when he's tired. He's only been left for a couple of hours at a time in his foster home and seems to cope with that. Milo is frightened of some household items such as the hoover, plastic bags and when he hears certain people shouting, so he will need reassurance and patience to show him that they're not scary. Milo is currently in a foster home in South Yorkshire. If you'd like to apply to rehome him, please fill in our pre-adoption questionnaire :

About Milo

What life with Milo looks like

Milo is a puppy/kitten whippet dog waiting at Lurcher Link in United Kingdom.

Puppies need routine, gentle socialization, and roughly two short outings a day for the first year. The first six months are the formative window — house-training, leash work, and quiet exposure to traffic, other dogs, and unfamiliar people happen now or not at all. Expect early-morning wake-ups and a few months of chewing.

🇬🇧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. Lurcher Link 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 — Lurcher Link 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 Lurcher Link 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.
