My story

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

Sandy and his brother Don were found in the hills as strays at about 3 months of age. A man took them in and raised them until they were about 8 months old when circumstances forced him to give them up.
They came to the Sanctuary very wary and timid. Everything is new to them. But they have quickly warmed up to staff, and are learning to walk on a leash. Sandy is extremely affectionate once he is comfortable with you. A big lap dog! Both boys are very food motivated, but eat together....no food or resource guarding. Sandy readily gives up his bowl or whatever his brother wants from him. He is a gentle, loving guy.
Sandy will make a great and loyal companion but will need a calm, patient human to show him the world beyond the deep woods in the hills.
The staff loves both of these boys.
Please call 707-459-4900 for more information on Sandy.

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.
