Irene is a sweet girl with a big heart in a giant world. She is very shy and gets easily scared. She will need a family that can move slow and approach with ease. Irene is very sweet and needs a loving home that can give her the feeling of security, and lots of love. She is a total sweetheart and loves to cuddle.
Notes from her foster:
We're the foster family for Irene. I wanted to give you an update on her. We've had her a little over two months and I am happy to say she is settling in and calming down, I think, around us. She is especially fond of my 16 y/o daughter, her sister and me, and she is warming up to my husband after overcoming a lot of suspicion that he was the big bad wolf! She is a brave doggie. Once she knows everyone she loves being around people and will hop and play in mornings and when we come back.
She still has a ways to go on a few issues. She still has big separation anxiety. Even leaving her for about an hour can be stressful for her. So we are keeping an eye out for a very patient, experienced owner-to-be who maybe has a few folks in household who can share responsibility of keeping her company as often as possible. She likes walks, especially in nature, like the Tilden Park near our house. In fact, the more big outdoor walks, the calmer she is. It could be that she might do well with a second friendly smallish dog to hang with. But not sure. Certainly she is super shy and scared around big dogs. (12/2024)

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.
