O Sweet Peanut...he is a great walking companion, although touchy about leash removal, deaf, needs routine and adult companionship in a rural setting.
Thank you for considering adoption of a Milo Foundation Sanctuary dog. Our Sanctuary is where our rescued dogs who have had difficulty in a home in the past, have behavioral issues, or too much energy, or for some, aggression issues with other dogs, or intense stranger danger that make them more difficult to safely and happily live in urban environments. These are not beginner dogs or for the most part nor are they for families with children. IF you are looking for an easy dog to add to your family, we suggest looking at the dogs at our Adoption Center, Milo Pt Richmond. BUT, if you can offer a safe and nurturing home to a dog with some behavioral "quirks" please do send an application today. Thank you.
Sweet, but conflicted little guy previously adopted in 2013 - Peanut is deaf and selective of his friends both two and four-legged.
Previous bio, "Phoenix has gone up to our Sanctuary for a bit to get a break from being kenneled! He is such a sweet boy - playing fetch and running about - yes, he's deaf and a bit OCD - but he is a wonderful companion - bright and cheerful - eager to please and take part - and to have fun!! Phoenix is a very sweet, active and unique fellow. Alert, watchful - and deaf. He has a small bit of hearing - but not much. He is bright and attentive and will learn hand signals readily - he needs structure, lots of activity and perhaps a playful, active mentor hearing dog. A vibrating collar can also be useful with a deaf dog - but cattle dogs are so rugged and sturdy and able to figure their way around problems we thing young Phoenix will manage just fine with herding breed savvy folks!"
No kids, MUST have dog experience, stranger danger

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.
