MILO – A1032354
6-12-2015 Manhattan Rescue: ***SAFE*** Pulled by HVARS- Donation website: http://www.hvars.org/ Please honor your pledges:
**SAFE 06/12/15** MILO is a loving, neutered family pet who lived with 3 large breed dogs and is a TOTAL ROCK STAR, but he is so emotionally distraught at having been left at the shelter (on account of “allergies”), he needs a New Hope rescue to save his life, tonight. Check out his heart wrenching intake notes! “During the intake, he was nervous at first; he was reluctant to come out of his carrier and he buried his head into my arm and was very stiff. When I would try to move my arm away, he would move closer and hold on with his paws without using his nails. He eventually began to purr and his eyes became softer. He allowed petting and handling and he showed no signs of aggression.” Also, “A volunteer writes: Milo has lived with kids, dogs, and cats. He is a friendly fellow who enjoys interaction and affection. With all that going for him, is he the one for you?” That New Hope rating is exclusively the result of stress and fear–please work with a New Hope rescue group to foster or adopt MILO, tonight!

Reaction to touch: Milo avoids contact, hisses with ears back and swats at the assessor’s hand. Placement determination: NH ONLY Milo is displaying behaviors that preclude placement in the adoptions room. He is stressed in the shelter environment and does not currently tolerate petting.
