My story

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

Rocky is a charmer, he may take a minute, but he loves people and other dogs, and even a stoic dog savvy cat he does fine with! He listens and he learns. Rocky needs solid, dog savvy, folks who will create a structured environment, give guidance and be in charge - he wants to learn and be important. And he wants fun and activity!
Rocky can be a bit mouthy, using his mouth a bit to be grabby for attention, though he does take correction - and he listens to his commands - sits immediately when asked - is super attentive and cute as he can be! He is a great companion, active, alert, watchful, protective if he feels he needs to be, and needs to not get to a place where he feels he needs to protect his place and people as he may take it to a fault.
"He is a snuggler, good walker both on leash and off. Great hiker. Great in the house and in the car. Doesn't bark while playing. He's attentive and wants to learn. Still a little mouthy but he's improving. A little anxious meeting new dogs, but he ends up loving them all. Potty trained."

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.
