My story

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

Meet handsome brindle Maximus (affectionately known as Max)! This playful and good-natured boy has been through a lot in his two years. Despite everything, he is incredibly easygoing and eager to please. He's a dog's dog and a people pleaser all in one! On a recent hike, Max encountered a number of potential distractions--other dogs, curious kids, bicyclists, birds--and he remained calm throughout. He is affectionate, loves to be pet, and LOVES to give kisses. He's curious about the world, and treat motivated, making him highly trainable. He hopped right into the car and was ready to go adventure!

This sweet boy was found beat up and skinny, injured and in need of help - a rescuer in the Fresno area took him in and nursed him to health...and fell in love with his sweet nature. In the Central Valley shelter where he was taken, he was out of time and facing euthanasia, until his rescuer got him to safety and pleaded with Milo to take him in and give him a chance at the great home he deserves! Can this lovely brindle guy be your Milo dog!??

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.
