A favorite at the Kern County Shelter, for the herding dog savvy, he is a winner! Loyal, stick with you, good off leash, responsive, clever, moderately active, relatively calm, watchful, ready.....
Here are some great notes/observations from his current foster family:
He's the sweetest, most joyful dog I've ever met! He loves to cuddle and is very affectionate. He's super loyal and always wants to be wherever I am. I call him Velcro dog!
He's got a ton of energy and needs about 2 hours of activity (hikes, walks, playing with toys) a day. He loves all people and mostly all dogs. He's very friendly and social. He always wants to say hello and has wonderful manners when we're out in public. He's very athletic and would do best with a very active family, ideally in the country. As a working dog, he will live his best life on a farm where he has lots of room to roam or where he has jobs to do. He's definitely not a city dog!
He knows basic commands like "sit and "heel. We're working on others. He still has a lot of puppy energy and can get extra excited when we play. He sometimes jumps up or nips when he's really into playing. For that reason, I wouldn't recommend him for a family with small children.
He can jump very high - straight up from a standing position, and has a high prey drive. He needs a tall, fenced yard to keep him safe.
He loves fetch and tug-of-war (and he's very strong!). I could see him really enjoying and excelling at agility games.
He doesn't love being alone, and although I've only left him for an hour or two at most, he's done some major exploring (walking on my kitchen table and counters!) while I'm out. He needs some training there!
He's a smart, happy, mild mannered and loving dog. He is so eager to be loved and gives so much love in return. He will be a wonderful companion for the right family.

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.
