My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

River came from a trailer park near the San Joaquin that was flooded and their were homeless people with unaltered dogs... this fellow had two litters, River (aka "Brother) was from the older litter... but bit by bit rescues are helping both getting them fixed, and to rescues to find homes!!
River is lovely, clingy, playful, and charming! Learning the ropes, learning about leash walking, (which is helped by his mentor buddy Max!)
Surprisingly he did just fine in foster care and going up and down steep stairs to the yard. Curious and a bit Barky when seeing a cat for the first time but he can learn. He wants to please and to learn about being a happy, well cared for dog in a happy home! A yard and a buddy dog would be ideal. Being alone is not going to be a happy place for him having always been surrounded by dogs... but he can learn. Sweet, sweet boy wanting security and love!

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.
