My story

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

Orville is such a sweet, loyal, and gentle soul! He is a little timid at first but warms up quickly after some good sniffing. He readily approaches and asks for love by trying to put his nose on your nose. He loves walking and is a great hiker too! On leash, he walks directly by your side and will frequently look up at you with a big smile on his face to make sure you're still there. He has no interest in running away and he's going to be such a steadfast companion once he finds his home. Because he is a bit shy around people at first, he would thrive in a home with another dog his size to play with, follow around, and gain confidence from. His preferred playstyle is wrestling and jumping around with his playmate.

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.
