Ricky was found walking alongside a rural road on the outskirts of town about to get on the highway. Luckily, two kind souls were getting ready to get on, as well! They immediately jumped into action before he reached the ramp ... Rescue success! No chip, no collar, no one came for this sweet boy.
Milo said yes when asked if we could take him in and his original rescuers helped him get acclimated. Here's what they had to say:
"Ricky was extremely shy, scared & confused, however he seemed very ok with being off the streets and with people, even better with our pack. It took him nearly 2 weeks to start to feel safe and know he was very loved. (His tail wags and baby kisses was our proof.) Each day brought a new piece of his character out to shine. Ricky is such a happy playful boy. At times it seems he's still a bit unsure of his happiness and how to express his joy; we work through it together by reassuring him what a good boy he is & how much we love him. He's come a long way in a short time!"

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.
