Hi everyone, my name is Milo
Milo, although shy, he is a gentle soul. Beneath his timid exterior is a sensitive little companion who simply needs time, patience, and understanding to truly blossom.
Milo is looking for a quiet, experienced adult-only home where he can feel safe and supported. He thrives in calm environments and would do best as the only animal in the home, allowing him to build confidence at his own pace without feeling overwhelmed.
He will need a family committed to ongoing confidence building, particularly around other dogs and new people. Milo has so much potential to grow and show his loving personality.
Milo isn’t the type to rush into new situations, but once he trusts you, the bond you’ll share will be incredibly special. If you have a peaceful home, a patient heart, and the experience to help a shy dog find his courage, Milo would love to meet you.

Adopting an animal
Adopting an animal is a rewarding experience that will last a lifetime. But before you adopt a pet please take some time to consider the commitment you are about to make. Sometimes the excitement of pet ownership can overshadow factors that should be considered before adoption.
Adopting a shelter pet is a lifelong decision that will have a major impact to your normal, everyday life. Please remember that a cat or dog can live for up to 20 years and they will rely only on you for their wellbeing for their entire life.
- Do I have time to exercise the dog every day?
- Do I have time for puppy pre-school and time to socialise a puppy?
- Do I have at least an hour every day to spend with my cat?
- Do I have time for obedience training?
- If renting, does the landlord permit pets?
- Is the backyard big enough and is the fencing secure?
- Does the whole family want a pet?
- Will the pet be allowed inside?
- Will I have to move interstate or overseas in the foreseeable future?
- Will I have to move to another rental property where the landlord may not allow pets.
Pets are a lifelong monetary commitment, you will need to factor in:
- Weekly animal food bills and necessities
- Yearly council registration
- Monthly medications like heart worm/intestinal worm and flea treatments
- Annual vet visits for vaccinations and check ups
- Unexpected vet bills due to accidents or medical conditions
- Ongoing grooming
- Boarding fees for human holidays
- Enrichment like training, toys etc
