About MILO - Experienced ado

MILO was saved from a high kill shelter in Texas with 4 siblings (we presume) CHIP, PRINCE , PIXIE in May 2018. We was not aware that the 4 dogs were semi-feral and couldn't be handled. All four dogs were put in communal areas with other dogs where they could learn to trust, and gain confidence and hopefully trust. Due to the fact there is only one person running the rescue, trying to socialize the dogs has been an impossible task. They have come a long way in that they will come for treats, they are a relaxed and happy playing, eating, sleeping and hanging out with the other dogs - they are great around the house and come and go as they please through the dog door - however, they are still very shy/fearful of being handled - they want it but since there has not been able to be any one on one work they have not transitioned as we wanted to them being happy, comfortable lap pets. Milo does show potential in that he will come and take a treat from my knee or out of my hand, but if I go to approach him he will run off. We are looking for a family who is happy to take into their homes and give him time to adjust and let him build and gain trust in his time- with not living with 20 other dogs this will be a lot more achievable but time and patience is obviously needed. The dogs are project dogs for sure and they will need a home with a fenced back yard and a family who truly understands that they will need time to adjust and may, or may not never be super cuddly dogs - although I believe they are all wanting it. They will need to be transported in a crate since they won't be handled and the meet and greet would be with them in a crate also. None of the dogs have been aggressive, but I have not put them in a position where they have been so fearful their only option would be to bite. They would most likely transition a lot easier and quicker with either one of their friends or another family dog. MILO has come a long way and as you will see in the video's he is very food motivated and does at times like to come and lie close by me, watching what I am doing, and of course hoping for food. I do think in a quieter environment where he can build that trust he will be a great family dog - he can't be handled as mentioned so it is going to take a family with a lot of patience and understanding. All dogs are fully vetted, spayed/neutured, rabies, core vaccines, dewormed, monthly preventatives, micro-chipped and heartworm tested negative.
