Please can anyone help? We are looking for an urgent foster home.

MILO NEEDS A LIFELINE.

We are looking for a foster home for Milo, ideally with a view to adopt, or even temporarily to save his life.

Milo is a 7-year-old spaniel whose owner is having to rehome him due to an unfortunate bite incident.

Milo has always been a happy, sociable dog until the arrival of a baby 10 months ago. While struggling with a new busier, noisier household, Milo jumped up and bit the stomach of a delivering postman – possibly due to heightened stress levels. A family member was looking after him at the time and it was one bite. The postman needed a tetanus only as a precaution. This was reported to his work and the police attended, giving Milo a VCO to keep Milo on the lead and muzzled in public spaces.

Milo has never shown any resource guarding or aggression to strangers before and I find it so sad that he now had his freedom so restricted due to one snap, especially as in Milo’s head there was a stranger trying to enter his home.

Milo’s owners have reached out to many of the bigger rescues, but they won’t take him due to this one out-of-character incident.

We are looking for a child-free home for Milo, with or without other dogs. Milo has never has an issue with dogs, either inside or outside his home.

Milo is castrated already so can go further afield for the right, sensible and committed home. Spaniel experience is preferable.

He loves walking, ball-chasing, cuddles and attention, according to his owner. They are worried sick about Milo and what will happen to him if they cannot find a new home for him, so please help us to help him.
