Mylo is back looking for a home again!

Mylo sadly is back with us. He struggled in his new home.

He's 2 years old and about 6-7kgs.

Before coming to JRD, we believe Mylo led a very sheltered life and has missed out on key socialisation which means everything outside the home (other than the car) can be crazy exciting and he can become a very loud dude and / or topple into overwhelm. Since being with us, some parts are now a little less exciting and more manageable, such as walks (don't get us wrong, there is still work to do!!) but we can now walk a walk over bunny hopping almost all the way!

He would love to be with someone most of the day so either someone who works from home, works in a role where he can go out in the car / van with you or who is retired / doesn't work is ideal.

What we would love is somewhere which can emulate his foster home as he has done really well there. They say he is super easy 23 out of 24 hours a day! (It's just that walk which can make things more of a challenge - but no one is perfect!)

The set up is:

• A quiet, chilled household (there are 2 adults in the home and he loves both of them fairly equally)

• Limited people coming and going, probably no kids and not too many different visitors for now (regular visitors is fine and with new people slow intros or having space away from them). The current foster home has new people a couple of times a week as offer dog care but Mylo is behind a stair gate and once calm, says hello.

• Doesn't need to go to social gatherings or outside events for now. He's visited the foster home's family and friends but set ups are also quite similar.

• An outside space or garden so if he's had a big day, he can stay home over a walk (at least initially)

• Someone who likes enrichment activities - think food balls, puzzles and / or training to get his mind working and build that bond (you don't have to be an expert, just someone interested in dog brain games - we can give you tips and link you to resources as needed)

• Slow intros to the wider world and to do it at his speed - this could be months, maybe years. Equally, if he doesn't get 100% there that it's ok and the home will manage around him (mainly barking at dogs and some people so social gatherings and walks are his struggles, but he's happy to stay home)

• Conscious of overwhelm / trigger stacking, so if he has a 'busy' day, he has some down time.

The things which make Mylo great:

• happy, friendly little dude

• great with dogs in the house (he's met a few through the dog care and has got on well with a range of different dogs)

• could live with another dog(s)

• is clean in the house

• sleeps downstairs and right through the night happily

• travels well in the car (does squeak initially)

• can be left 3-4 hours

• loves his cuddles

• loves to play with his toys

• happy to be carried / held

• hair is super long and soft but doesn't seem to matt

• desperately wants to please

• loves to learn things

• has the cutest little face!
