My story

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

Newman is sensitive, watchful, a bit intense, playful with his peers and sensitive to what humans through his way. He's a cool dog, ready for dog savvy folks willing to give him a bit of patience, lots of love, ongoing socialization - he loves other dogs and playtime!

He's handsome, frisky and wiry good fun. Newman is not a boy for farm life.... he has a taste for chickens. We also know that Newman is not comfortable around young children and toddlers - so ideally an adult home (not expecting to have children) would be best for Newman. He needs collar and leash work and is a little more independent - he take a little time to warm up to people, but he does and is a sweetheart.

He is from a group of 18 dogs from a rescue in Mexico that fell on hard times, came to California with 90 dogs and their plans for a new location feel through. These dogs (and more!) were in desperate need of a place to go. So... Milo to the rescue! 20 more are headed to the Milo Sanctuary. These dogs were well cared for, and they have never been alone. They always had other dogs with them, and are very dog friendly. They are also very people friendly and love attention and seek affection! We know they would be happiest in a home with a friend or at least another dog in the home and lots of people time. As long as they get plenty of people time and aren't home alone for long stretches of time - they will be very happy.

Please consider giving a home to one or two of these dogs.
$400 adoption fee. $600 for two.

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.
