Milo

Milo is a fabulous young lurcher – he is 2 in June and has been a very loved dog.  He has come into KGR due to a change in family circumstances.  He is cheeky, good fun, very sweet, playful and everything else you would expect a lurcher to be.

You will need to be around for most of the time.  Young dogs need lots of attention – he can live with other dogs.

Milo is just a very sweet natured lurcher.  He is about the size of a big whippet but he is full of beans and he really wants fun owners.   We do not know what he is crossed with.

Please remember Milo is NOT a small greyhound – or a laid back and lazy dog.  He is a very playful, fun and affectionate lurcher pup – not a small greyhound.  You will need to want to have a puppy in your life!

Can you please think very carefully before adopting.   Dogs – even quiet greyhounds – are a huge responsibility and a lifestyle change.  If you have any health issues – please think very carefully and ensure you can look after the dog before applying.

It takes months before a dog will settle into your home and lifestyle – and you, as the human, must ensure it works.  We have become a very throw away society where it is easier to return a dog than to train a dog.  Most rescues are experiencing some people who just give up all too easily – as though they are just returning something to Amazon.

We are, of course, not talking about the genuine cases – where you may have an illness, lost your job or have to move to somewhere you cannot take the dog – we are talking about just giving up in the 1^st 6 months.

You may just think you are just returning the dog, and all is OK – but the disruption caused to that dog can be immense and can be very damaging for him.  The dog will have to go back into kennels (after being in a home) and a “returned” dog is a lot harder to rehome than other dogs.

Please also remember – we are all volunteers at KGR and we can only process so many applications in the time we have – if you give up and return your dog – someone else has missed out on having a dog because we spent our time on you.

We appreciate this sounds harsh – but for the sake of the dogs please think carefully.  We can and provide full back up to help settle your dog into your life – but you have to be up for the challenge and be 100% onboard to help your dog settle into your home and life.

Please remember the 3-3-3- rule

It is 3 days before it can even start to relax (so overnight disruption, using the rug as a toilet etc)  3 weeks before the dogs even realises it is staying so starts to learn your routine and 3 months before your dog starts to settle.
