If you are interested in adopting a dog that does not say it can be homed with a cat and wish us to cat test please let us know and we will be happy to do this.
22-02-2024 This handsome boy is Milo and he is waiting for his very special person to find him. So why does Milo need a special person? Well although he has lived in a home, walks on a lead and we are told is house trained, he is very nervous especially around males and it can take him a few minutes to warm up to you. He was returned to his breeder as he is food aggressive so needs to be fed separately and he does not get along with male dogs. Milo would like a home with another female dog to play and snuggle with, preferably of a similar size or larger to him. We are looking for an adult only and experienced home who are happy to work with Milo. He needs a cat free home. With adopters who understand Milo's needs and have the knowledge and experience to work with him we are sure he will become a wonderful friend. He is recieving treatment for a mild ear infection.
05-03-24 UPDATE I have looked after Milo since he arrived, having been told that he is food aggressive with people and can be fearful with men. So far I have not seen any of this, however I have been taking precautions, eg. feeding him seperate from other dogs and not rushing to take his bowl and definitely not taking his food bowl if he's still got food in it, and introducing him slowly and properly to strangers. He may not feel the need to show any food aggression because he knows I'm not going to take his food away.
I think with the right structure and guidance Milo will be an awesome companion in the right home. He is so full of love and asks for cuddles at any opportunity!
Milo can be mouthy when he is really excited, how I've been managing this is just ignoring him until he does a nice sit, then I fuss and reward for the sit. He'll get there, but here in a kennel environment it's hard for him to control his excitement when he has visitors in his kennel!
I really hope Milo won't be waiting here for too long.
Milo has also been going for walks with one of our experienced male volunteers Mal, Milo met Mal absolutely fine. He has about 40 minutes walk in the morning with Mal, and is still ready to go afterwards too, so needs an active home!

I have worked with Milo a few times and he is such a sweet boy. He does still get over excited when you enter his kennel, which his carers working on, but he just wants someone to be around to give him love and walks, how could he not get excited when we come back!? Once out on a walk he is an absolute pleasure, we worked on heel yesterday and he picked it up very fast. We also went into our large play area and he zoomed around so happy to be outside with lots of space. Kennel life must be hard on him when he knows the joys of being in a home. He is a very clever boy, who just wants to be loved. He adores a cuddle and a tickle around his ears. I hope he gets a home soon!

Having been Milo's main carer since he arrived I can honestly say what a gem. He's a gorgeous boy and hasn't put a paw wrong while he's been here. He can initially be nervous of strangers and bark at them but after a few minutes he comes around and asks for a fuss from them.
He's super affectionate, playful, and loves his long calm walks. He's awesome with other dogs and matches their playstyle lovely, if they get a little funny with him he just takes himself away which is so amazing.
Milo doesn't deserve to be waiting here, he's so desperate to have company more often than we can give. He would love an adult only home with humans with experience! Just in case any quirks come up, as sometimes they don't show in kennels but will come out in the home. I can't wait for the day I'll be saying goodbye to Milo and sending him off to his next chapter!

Milo, what a boy, what can I say about him that hasn't already been said? Once he feels comfortable around you he is such a sweet boy, he loves affection and will often put his paws up on me and bow his head waiting for you to give him a fuss, I think he would stay there and have cuddles and fusses all day if it were possible. He walks brilliantly on a lead and he knows a few tricks like sit, stay and heel. He is such a pleasure to work with and be around I honestly don't know how he hasn't been snapped up yet. He loves going out on walks and having playtime in the yard, he always gets on well with his kennel mates and we've had no trouble with him since being here. I absolutely adore Milo and think anyone who met him would too.
25-07-24 UPDATE Milooooooo, the most a gorgeous boy ever. Milo has been here for ages now, and he’s such a happy soul that he takes it all in his stride, though it’s still sad to see him not able to live the active life he’s so desperate to have. All he needs is an experienced home to come along and give him all the love and walks he wants!
Milo is a super intelligent boy, and loves to learn which makes him extremely trainable. Recently we have been teaching him “stay” and “place”, and as he is very clever and loves treats, he got the hang of it super quick.
Milo loves going on walks and using his Beagle nose to sniff around. He loves rolling around in the grass, as well as running around in our big yard and jumping on all the equipment, I think he would really enjoy agility training! Overall he’s just so exciting to watch, and brings a smile to everyone’s face who meets him!
Milo is a happy boy, who adores his carers and still has s puppy like charm to him. Since arriving with us, we’ve taught him how to wear a muzzle as when it's busy he can startle from strangers easily, and get a bit overexcited. We felt it best to teach him this skill so his future adopters will have the pleasure of working with him already with skills he’s learnt.
Milo is truly an incredible boy that would love to be a fantastic addition to an active family’s home ?

Milo is just an absolute dude! How such a clever, funny, loving little dog like him has been overlooked in kennels for so long is beyond me.
Firstly, Milo LOVES food! He is just so trainable, will do anything for food. Walks on the lead beautifully, will heel and recall like a pro for the sniff of a sweetie. No food aggression issues with treats, bones, chews. We continue to feed him separately from the other dogs and allow him to finish before removing his bowl.
Secondly, he ADORES his people! He is so desperate to have human contact, he follows you everywhere, gives the best cuddles and loves to play with a ball or tuggy. After being in kennels for so long, he’s rather clingy at the moment and worries his people are going to disappear, particularly when we go to bed without him. We’re working on getting him into a routine and settling in a space where he isn’t surgically attached to us at all times. He’s made great progress with this already in his first week here.
He’s happily living with our gang of 4 female dogs and is hugely respectful but really enjoys a play. No guarding issues, he’s very comfortable sharing beds, bones, toys, etc. He has also been clean in the house.
Out and about he politely meets dogs and generally ignores people, unless they offer a treat of course! Milo would like a home with at least one resident female dogs to play and snuggle with.
We’re looking for an experienced home that can continue this little guys training (he’s so much fun) and give him the forever home he so deserves.
10-10-24 UPDATE
Milo has been in foster with us for just over a month now and is enjoying his home comforts. He loves to be warm, snuggle and sleeps on his back under a blanket every night. Not a fan of the cold & rain! He sleeps soundly overnight, is clean & dry & can happily be left for a few hours if he has doggy company. He’s doing very well in sharing his new home with a pack & learning their rules & etiquette. He loves to play with the other dogs and will need a kind, confident, patient playful dog (s) in his new home to offer him further guidance. He may be 4 but he is definitely reliving his puppyhood here! An utter delight to take out & about, loves his walks, great recall, good on lead. Doesn’t react to strange people or dogs. Finds travelling in the van a bit stressful & can be noisy but it’s improving all the time as he continues to get out & explore nice places. He has met our young nephews and although concerned about them at first, we gave him space & treats, he soon realised they were no threat and enjoyed a cuddle with them. I feel he would be more comfortable in an adult only home though. Milo is generally very easy in the house but needs experienced owners that can really read dog behaviour and stick to consistent rules & boundaries. He’s so smart and outwardly appears full of confidence but deep down is a super sensitive little guy who cannot cope with any firm corrections (even a stern voice or stare can upset him). He absolutely thrives off praise so training / instructions need to positive and reward based only, avoiding all conflict. I suspect in a previous life he has been harshly reprimanded and is therefore terrified of being hurt for making a mistake again. He tries so so hard to be the goodest of boys and will literally be the perfect dog, we’re 95% there already! If you want a BFF in the form of a short guy with amazing floppy ears, please get in touch, he’s soooo ready to give his whole heart & trust to someone.

PLEASE NOTE: We nearly always home dogs who have come from breeders where there is ALREADY A RESIDENT DOG living in the house. They have usually never lived in a house before and are only used to canine company. They usually get their confidence and learn faster with another dog to copy from. This also helps with house training and learning how to walk on a lead. They will make lovely pets but do need a lot of love, time and patience.
