Are you right for Milo?

Milo is an eight-year-old Pug cross looking for a loving home where he can enjoy life at his own gentle pace. He would like a quiet home environment with access to peaceful walking routes, where he can feel safe and relaxed. Milo would particularly benefit from having access to a garden, as he previously found it difficult when he didn’t have one. He will need to be the only pet in the home and have owners who are around for most of the day, as although he can be left alone for a couple of hours. Because his vision isn’t what it once was, he can sometimes pause and watch other dogs from a distance on walks to figure out what’s going on, but with calm introductions he can happily stroll alongside them. His adopters will just need to be cautious of other dogs startling him. Milo is used to being part of the family, including being allowed on the sofa and sleeping in the bedroom at night, and he would love a home where he can continue to share those cosy moments. Children could visit occasionally, but overall he would suit a quieter household that understands his need for a calm, predictable routine.

Is Milo right for you?

Milo is very affectionate, loyal and simply loves being close to his people. His favourite place in the world is curled up beside you on the sofa, soaking up cuddles and companionship. Although toys aren’t really his thing, Milo does enjoy getting out for gentle walks and exploring at a relaxed pace. At home, he’s a clean and well-mannered boy who is fully house trained and travels well in the car. He may occasionally bark if someone knocks at the door, but once they come in he happily greets them. Milo can sometimes be startled by sudden noises and isn’t keen on being restrained, so will need to be handled with care, understanding and a gentle approach. Milo forms a very close bond with his people, for someone looking for a devoted dog who will share the sofa and adore your company, he would make a loving little companion.

Create an account and fill out our application form

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 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 …

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’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.

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.

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.

With our free behaviour support, our Canine Care …
