My story

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

Maxwell is a cute little dog who needs a patient, experienced adopter. He is nervous around new people, but once he warms up, he will love following you around and sitting on your lap. Although he needs time to build trust, with the right adopter and some patience, he will be an amazing companion.

Foster note: "Around 10 pounds, this little guy just wants to be around his people. Maxwell would be perfect for someone looking for a little shadow. He LOVES his walks and playing fetch with his stuffed toy. When in a sleepy mood, he will roll over for a belly rub. He is already potty-trained and knows basic commands like 'sit.'

Although he loves his people, he is a good boy when left at home. Maxwell has gone on lots of adventures with us, including to Dolores Park (where he was off leash with great recall) and other dog parks. He is great at riding in the car. Maxwell does do a bit of resource guarding of his toys and his person so we would recommend an experienced dog owner who knows how to handle this behavior for him."

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.
