Dubs is a big, young boy looking for his forever home! He loves belly rubs, scratches around the shoulders and back, playing fetch, and running around the dog parks. He's playful and goofy but can be a security guard when he senses danger. He has some anxiety, but the staff at the doggy-day-care he used to go to say that he just loves to play and not be cooped up. We want him to go to a home that has space for him, with someone who loves giving him unlimited love and belly rubs. Come meet him at our Point Richmond location today!
Notes from a volunteer who took Dubs out recently:
This was the first time I took Dubs out with us on a hike, but we felt so comfortable with him and it seemed that he felt the same.
My car is on the smaller side and I shared the backseat with him so it was a tight squeeze. Once he made himself comfortable, he rode well in the car.
He got along well with my two small dogs and was respectful of their space when he walked alongside of them.
He has a big puppy playful demeanor and was so happy to chase after a stick thrown in the water at the beach. He also liked to play "stomp on the waves" as they rolled in.
He pulled a bit strongly on the leash at times, but I think it may have been out of excitement from visiting a new place that he may not have been to before.
He loves treats so that could help with any additional training/teaching tricks. For now, he knows how to sit for treats.
It was a fun and happy day for all of us and we plan to take him out again soon.

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.
