My story

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

Shiloh is a lovely, easy going Australian Shepherd, who sadly lost his owner. He was well cared for and loved. Shiloh is confused about all the changes, but is a sweet-natured fellow, loves going on walks, and sticks close by you.

Social and sweet with other dogs, at least initially, but may become possessive of his people and grouchy towards others getting between him and his desired person in the home particularly, though he does take correction - he is also a tad stubborn. He is a lovely dog looking for a loving moderately active family, as he loves his walks! He may be most successful, or easy as an only dog in the home. However, he was fostered successfully with dogs and a cat, and got along. The cat is very dog savvy and calm, doesn't run. Shiloh is also very well housetrained, sleeps on a dog bed - goes ten hours with no problem.

Shiloh seems to be great with kids, but a bit wary around some men, So in short, he needs space and time, and may take awhile to adjust, but clearly has some things from his past coloring his comfort levels in new situations. He's a slow and steady kind of 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.
