Adopted Milo 18mths Old Lab x Dalmation
Milo, 18 month old lab x dalmatian
Since coming into foster ten days ago, Milo has come on in leaps and bounds. He did have a grumble when he was first assessed but when he arrived at the assessor's home, who now has him in foster, he never showed any signs of being wary of her partner (he probably had treats 😉 ).
He is in foster with two other labs and really enjoys playing with them. He is very energetic and loves to race about, yet he always keeps you in his sights. On lead , he does initially pull and he is slowly getting used to a figure of eight lead. He is fantastic off lead and has met many dogs and behaved impeccably. He is respectful and when he gets too much with one of the resident dogs, he gets told and moves away. His favourite toy is a rope type and he is quite bouncy and vocal when playing, although he seldom barks otherwise.
Milo arrived in foster in quite an agitated state, having spent ten days in kennels where he was starting to shut down. There have been a couple of mystery explosions: one being a bag of food and the other being a dog bed but we are sure it's nothing to do with young milo 😂 He was extremely anxious at even being in a room on his own when he first arrived, but his fosters have been very slowly leaving him for a few minutes here and there, building it up carefully. This will need to be continued in his new home.
Milo is willing to trust once he knows people are trustworthy. We feel he would be best suited to a home where someone is with him most of the time, so his separation anxiety can be worked through. He also needs an active new owner and would be a fantastic jogging partner or cannicross dog. Due to milo's sensitive nature, we don't think he is suited to a home with children but older teenagers might be OK.
Currently in Leeds, he is neutered and up to date with everything. His minimum adoption donation is £200.
