Are you right for Milo?

Say hello to the affectionate and loving Milo the five-year-old Rottweiler cross Malinois. He could share his home with upper secondary school aged children. He is looking to be the only dog in the home and a home without cats or small furries. Milo has no history around livestock. Milo is super friendly around new people and great with visitors to the home. He could cope with a reasonably busy home environment that is set-back from footpaths as Milo doesn’t appreciate dogs passing by his house. He would like access to peaceful outdoor spaces and walks. He is housetrained and fine traveling in the car. Milo is a chilled-out lad in the house and does not mind being left alone at home for a few hours at a time. He has a fab coat which will need brushing regular and he is happy with you doing so.

Is Milo right for you?

Milo can be described as a ‘soppy dog’. He loves a fuss and spending time with his people. He walks beautifully on his lead, and he enjoys going for long walks. His favourite places to hike include woodlands, and places where he can paddle his paws in the shallows. Milo would love access to secure paddocks where he can run freely with the wind in his hair! He thrives in rural areas that are not busy with other dogs; Milo had a negative experience with other dogs and although he used to have doggy pals, he would now rather keep his distance. He is motivated by squeaky toys and can easily disengage and be more focused on his squeaky ball. He is learning to wear a muzzle for peace of mind so he can carry on his training safely. Our team of experts can show you how well Milo is doing and guide you to continue his success. He loves to have a game of fetch and play tuggy games. His all-time favourite treat is cheese! He knows a sit, wait, and paw, and why not teach him new tricks to keep that clever brain of his sharp!

How our rehoming process works

  1. 1

    Create an account and fill out our application form

    In our form you can tell us all about your home, your lifestyle and the kind of dogs you’re interested in. You won’t be applying for a specific dog, but you can add favourites to give us an idea of the dogs you like. We’ll use this information to find a great match for you.

  2. 2

    Choose a rehoming centre

    We’ll also ask you to select a rehoming centre. The team at this centre will look after your application and assess you against all suitable dogs in their care. This doesn’t have to be your nearest centre, but you will need to travel there within a few days once we’ve found...

    We’ll also ask you to select a rehoming centre. The team at this centre will look after your application and assess you against all suitable dogs in their care. This doesn’t have to be your nearest centre, but you will need to travel there within a few days once we’ve found you a match.

  3. 3

    We’ll review your application

    We’ll review your application against the dogs in our care at your chosen centre. If we think we have the right dog for you, we’ll be in touch as soon as possible. If we don’t hear back from you, we will close your application for now, and you can reapply when you’re ready. 

  4. 4

    We’ll keep your application open for three months and keep looking for a match

    If we don’t have a dog for you right now, we’ll keep your application open for three months and keep you in mind for any new dogs that arrive. If within this time you see another dog you are interested in, you won't need to apply again but you can amend your application by...

    If we don’t have a dog for you right now, we’ll keep your application open for three months and keep you in mind for any new dogs that arrive. If within this time you see another dog you are interested in, you won't need to apply again but you can amend your application by calling us on 0303 003 0000 or visiting your local rehoming centre.

  5. 5

    When we find a match, we’ll invite you to meet them

    If we’ve found a dog who seems right for you, we’ll invite you to come and meet them at the rehoming centre.

    If we’ve found a dog who seems right for you, we’ll invite you to come and meet them at the rehoming centre. 

    Some of the dogs in our care will need to meet potential owners several times to get to know one another. This lets us see you’re compatible and gives you the chance to build a bond before making a commitment to give them a new home. By taking some time at the beginning to make sure everyone’s comfortable, an adoption is more likely to be successful. 

    We may also arrange a home visit with you, to see how your house will be set up and check that the garden (if you have one) is secure. This may not be necessary, though, especially if you’ve adopted from us before. Where you already have dogs, we may accept a reference from your vet as an alternative.

  6. 6

    If we haven’t found the right match, we’ll continue the search together

    If we haven’t found the right dog for you within three months, we’ll let you know your application is closed. We’ll invite you to apply again so we have up-to-date information about you, and we’ll keep looking.

  7. 7

    We’ll support you to embark on a new life with your dog

    When we’ve matched you with a dog, we’ll help you welcome them to your home. After adoption we’ll keep in touch to see how you and the dog are doing. If you need any advice or support, we’re just a phone call away.
