Meet the Blue Jean Boys! Five incredible, cuddly, playful pups eager to find love and inspiration with families, or adults, with time to provide plenty activity and mental as well as physical stimulation! Ready for playtime and adventures, obedience and other forms of training that they should take to readily - these are clever pups, eager to learn and to please!
Herding breed pups need activity and consistency, clear expectations, repetition, and positive reinforcement. A little praise goes a long way. Treats help too, but these pups need a few days just to get comfortable in a world without their brothers - they have never been apart, and go all meek and mild upon separation, but quickly start engaging with people, enjoying the attention and tails soon start wagging, and little kisses happen! They also are eager to make new dog friends, the bigger the pack the better - running and chasing and testing each other. Socialization with people and other animals is important at this point in their lives!
Herders can get nippy with groups of running children - attempting to herd them - but with plenty exposure to kids as well as training and knowing commands like "Leave It!" and "Off" and "Come!" all come in handy. Smart responsive dogs - with plenty exercise and stimulation, they are fabulous additions to most homes - but they need that activity, games, jobs, fun!

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.
