My story

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

Meet Taffy!

Some notes from her foster:

We have found that now Taffy has warmed up and comfortable in our home she is also displaying being very dog reactive on walks. She finally got over her fear of our big dog and now they are best friends and play happily together. She is a love sponge and does still get very jealous of our dog getting attention at times. I would say that Taffy would do best in a home either with no other dogs or a family that is experienced and willing to put in the time and patience for Taffy to warm up to another dog. A smaller dog sibling might be easier. She wants to chase cats on walks, but would likely be intimidated by them in a home.

She is the cutest funny little girl - likes to steal socks and toss them around like toys. She is pretty much potty trained- only a few accidents in the beginning but mostly due to not knowing our home/routine. She is playful and loves walks, treats and mealtime.

She is timid of new people and does need some time to adjust. For her, I expect it will take a few meetings before an adopter would see her for the sweet dog that she is. Logistically; she is tiny so needs a secure yard. Does great in the car. And is ok with baths (although she will try to jump out of the sink). She does not food guard at all and lets us look at her teeth etc with no aggression. She is fine sleeping in a kennel if needed. She is good around teenagers but would likely be fearful of younger kids if they grab at her.

She has the cutest underbite and crazy bed head all the time. What's not to love about that?!

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.
