About me

Cute young Dio came to us after he was living in a car with 4 other dogs and 5 cats. Dio was extremely nervous when he came to us and it has taken time for him to become more confident with the people he knows. Once he is bonded with you he is very affectinate and loves a cuddle. The pictures in his profile are pictures of him once he knows you, he will be nervous of new people, so potential adopters will need to come and meet Dio a few times, so that he can get to know them before going to his new home.

Dio is looking for a quiet home that will give him the time to come around at his own pace and let him grow in confidence. Dio would suit a home that has had small dogs before, ideally nervous dogs. He is best suited in an adult only home as he has no exprience of children and due to his shy nature.

Dio likes other dogs and gains confidence from them so he could live with a confident neutered female dog, depending on introductions. Dio is only 8 months old so he will need a home that can give him plenty of exercise. Once a lot more confidence he would also benefit from attending some reward based classes, but that will be down the line once he is more confident with unfamilair people.

We are not sure if Dio has lived in a house so he may need housetraining and car travel training. He will also need someone based at home to begin with and then will need a gradual build up to being left. He will also need help with day-to-day life and the noises and movements that happen in a home and when out and about because he does not have much experience with this. As Dio is nervous he will need to stay on the lead, so will need direct access to his own secure private garden with at least 5ft fencing. Dio will need to live on a quiet road, that doesn't have a lot of traffic and people going past.

If you think you could give cute little Dio a home then please send in an application form.

PLEASE NOTE

Our adoption teams will search through applications to find potential matches that meet all of the animals individual needs. They may contact you to discuss the adoption process and your application in more detail.

Millbrook regrettably is unable to keep a waiting list. However we are able to keep your application for up to 3 months to hopefully try to match you with another animal.
