My story

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

DARLA's a happy, peppy, affectionate girl who loves to play with other dogs. She's the kind of dog that can't imagine not liking any pup or person and can't imagine any wouldn't like her. When we had her out in the enclosed field at Milo, she took treats nicely from two young boys and play bowed and danced around with some other dogs. She's learning to walk nicely on leash, and isn't too much of a puller even now.

Some notes/updates from her foster (9/2024)

Darla is sweet, affectionate and wants to please. Loyal and responsive to warnings. Likes toys, both squeakers and chew toys.

She is very active as expected of a young border collie/Aussie shep mix. Her high energy level may make her not very suitable in a home with young kids as she also loves to jump affectionately on people,

Her foster is continuing to work on her training with her.

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.
