My story

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

Meet Billy! This sweet Pitty mix is a total lovebug. He's a champion snuggler who thrives on affection and is always up for some quality time with his humans (think velcro dog!).

Billy gets along great with other dogs, preferring playful interactions over confrontation. He walks nicely on a leash, happy to stroll or join in some doggy play. He knows basic commands and responds well to his name and has good recall. While he's potty-trained on command, he could use a little help learning to signal when he needs to go. A secure yard is a must, and he'll be happiest with another dog over being left home or in a yard alone, which may find him jumping a fence - this smart boy can get creative when bored. He is interested in cats and will chase if they run, but does not seem a danger. If you're looking for a sweet, affectionate companion, Billy is your guy!

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.
