My story

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

Melvin is a petite terrier with Cattledog markings and ears. He is shy and on the quiet side, ready to learn and to be loved. Full grown, he will be approximately 25 pounds or so.

He is shy with humans, but eventually warms up as he gets to know adults and kids. He will thrive in a single pet, quiet household with a fixed and predictable routine. If you work from home, at home often, or not gone more than 4 hours at a time, this would be a home setting that Melvin would thrive in.

He should be the only pet in the house as he is very scared of other dogs and cats. Once he gets comfortable with the humans in the house, it is possible another smaller pet could be introduced slowly.

He does not love car rides as he gets anxious and car sickness, but he does enjoy going on walks with his people.

Melvin has a lot of potential and love to give. If you are interested and would like to give him a loving home, please do submit an application 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.
