Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Pippa is completely housebroken and currently has access to a fenced backyard through a pet door. Shehas been working on her manners for the past year and has made great progress, though her independence and low food motivation make the process slow; she will thrive in a household that can give her consistent, disciplined training and show patience with her learning. She is intensely stimulated by moving objects such as cars, bicycles and joggers, but is slowly learning to manage her excitement.
Pippa enjoys the company of other dogs that she is familiar with. She would love to live
with a dog who shares her energy level or as an only pet. She currently lives with an older chihuahua whom she really likes, but who doesn’t like her due to her boisterous nature. She is wary around dogs new to her, though does well in an off leash park.
Her herding instincts make her not good with small children as she tends to nip their legs. She is OK with older children who are pet-savvy and know how to assert themselves
around her. She is selective about the men that she will accept into the house, nipping their heels if she feels unsafe.
Pippa is not a cuddle bug; as typical for a cattle dog, she shows her attachment to her Human by sitting close to them, whatever room they’re in. She has some deep-seated fears
that include having a door closed in her face, being picked up, or being petted while her guard is down (such as when she’s sleeping). She has shown great improvement in these areas but will need more attention.
At her core, Pippa has a sweet disposition and just wants to have activity and space to roam. She will do well in a household with a highly active lifestyle and consistent training.

More about this rescue
The Milo Foundation is an established 501(c)(3) nonprofit, no-kill organization providing an alternative for homeless pets throughout California, through education, adoption services, and providing sanctuary for animals until permanent homes can be found.
Founded in August of 1994, The Milo Foundation Sanctuary is located on two hundred and eighty-three acres in Mendocino County - offering lots of room for the animals to run and play. The Milo Sanctuary animals typically (but not exclusively) are harder to adopt animals and those needing more rural type homes, such as dogs with social or behavioural challenges, feral cats, horses and other farm animals. The Milo Point Richmond Adoption Center is where the majority of our new rescue intake takes place, typically friendly, adoptable cats and dogs, puppies and kittens rescued from shelters where they were facing euthanasia. The Sanctuary is where highly active or reactive dogs can go and have plenty of space, other canine companions (if they are dog friendly) and live in a stress free environment until such time as the right adoption match can be found.
The Milo Sanctuary is what enables Milo to be a No-Kill organization. Milo brings dogs back and forth from the Adoption Center (MPR) to the Sanctuary to give dogs a break from the stresses of the kennel environment and back to MPR later to try again at being adopted. Potential adopters also do come up to the Sanctuary to adopt, by appointment.
