My story

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

This beautiful, sweet and playful boy is looking for a dog savvy family who can appreciate his love for fun and adventure. He's a big fan of water and loves activities like swimming, trips to the beach or playing near lakes and streams. Of course any good outdoor activity is much appreciated by Benny!

He's great with most playful dogs, though can be dominant or not want to be pushed around by other male dogs.
Benny would do well in a family with children 10 and up who are familiar with and respectful of dogs. His wrestler playstyle means he enjoys roughhousing and playing games, so he's best suited for a home where his playmates can match his enthusiasm. He would do well as an only dog or with submissive females in the home.

He's a very friendly and charismatic fellow who is ready to bring joy and love to a home that can give him the structure, activity and attention he deserves.

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.
