Are you right for Milo?

Milo is a bright and energetic 1-year-old Border Collie who’s full of enthusiasm for life. This clever and playful lad thrives in an active environment with plenty of opportunities to stretch his legs and engage his mind. Milo would be happiest in a rural or quiet suburban home with a secure garden where he can run and explore to his heart’s content. He can live with adults or families with children aged 12 and above who are confident and considerate around dogs, understanding how to interact respectfully and give them space when needed. Milo has previously lived with a cat, but his natural curiosity sometimes leads to playful chasing, so a cat-free home may suit him better. While he is a friendly and social dog, Milo can be a little cautious when meeting new people, particularly taller men, so he’ll benefit from calm and positive introductions to help him feel comfortable. Milo is looking for experienced owners who can provide him with the care and support he needs to thrive in his new home. An understanding of Border Collie traits would also be beneficial, as Milo shows many typical breed tendencies, such as high energy, intelligence, and a love for mental stimulation. He is crate-trained, and having a safe space of his own helps him settle and feel secure in his environment.

Is Milo right for you?

Milo is a friendly and sociable boy who’s happiest when playing fetch, exploring the great outdoors, or learning new tricks. True to his Border Collie nature, he’s eager to please and thrives on interactive play and engagement. Milo has lived with other dogs before and enjoys their company during playtime. He’s a lively and social boy who is learning to manage his excitement when meeting new dogs and people on walks. Milo is house-trained and comfortable in his crate, which he uses as a cosy retreat when he needs some downtime. He’s also happy traveling in the car, making him a great companion for adventures further afield. Milo has learned some basic commands and even a few more advanced ones, and his treat and reward orientation make him an eager and fast learner. He has great potential to learn even more and would love to engage in training sessions with his new family. Like many young and energetic dogs, Milo can sometimes make his own fun if left to his own devices for too long, so keeping him mentally and physically stimulated is key to helping him settle in his new home. After a day full of activity, Milo is happy to relax at home, enjoying some quiet time with his favourite humans. With his zest for life and loving nature, Milo is ready to be a wonderful companion for experienced owners who are excited to share in his adventures and provide him with the structure and love he needs to flourish.

How our rehoming process works

Thanks for your interest. To apply to adopt a dog like me these are your next steps.

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 …

Apply Now

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 contact you within seven days

We’ll be in touch by phone or email within seven days of receiving your application to have a chat about your dog search. Then we'll start looking for a great match for you.

We will make two attempts to contact you. If after the second attempt we don’t hear back from …

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

You won't need to do anything else or apply again for three months. We’ll keep reviewing your application against all the dogs at your chosen centre. Not all available dogs are featured on our website; dogs of all shapes and sizes regularly come into our care, and your application will be considered for any dogs that match your requirements. We’ll contact you as soon as we find a good match.

If for some reason we don’t find the right dog in that time, you can reapply, and we’ll keep looking.

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.

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.
