Story
Marley is a 4 yr old, large handsome boy who is well trained and easy going. He is a genuinely a medium energy dog who does well with a few walks a day or a gentle jog. He'd prefer a mellow lifestyle as he loves to cuddle, nap on the couch (or on a dog bed), and hang out with his humans. He has no separation anxiety so if you need to leave him he's relaxed and happy in a crate. He's also fine not crated (has never destroyed anything) and uses a dog door. Marley is fully house trained, great in the car, and walks well on leash. As with many shepherds and herding breeds he has a strong prey drive, so a home without small children, small dogs or cats is best. He is well trained, but will need consistency and additional training to ensure that when his prey drive kicks in (squirrel on the path!) he takes his cues from you. His prey drive also surfaces when bicycles zoom past and he has a minor bite incident due to this. It wasn't aggression, just his deeply ingrained prey drive coming to the surface. This is a trait that can be suppressed through consistent training. Marley's foster told us that he is a love bug and knows the commands sit, down, off, up, stay, shake, hold, drop, and his heel release command is 'free.' They also felt that Marley would do great as an only dog or with a gentle female. If you love them big, loving, loyal, and eager to please then Marley is your boy! Come visit him at our facility, he's available for foster or adoption.

Buddy is a two-year-old husky mix ready to capture your heart with his unique blend of intelligence, sweetness, and charm. Unlike the stereotypical husky temperament, Buddy is a truly exceptional companion who is eager to learn and please his special person. This handsome fellow has a striking appearance, with his beautiful short coat that's is as soft as a cloud. But it's not just Buddy's looks that will draw you in-it's his remarkable personality that shines through. One of Buddy's most endearing qualities is his gentle nature. He takes treats with the utmost care, never nipping or snatching. This delightful trait demonstrates his understanding and respect for boundaries, making him an absolute pleasure to be around. Buddy's eagerness to learn also sets him apart, as he readily picks up new commands and thrives on mental stimulation. When it comes to leash manners, Buddy is a star pupil. He walks beside you with minimal pulling, making your adventures together an absolute joy. This is a testament to his great training and his desire to please. Whether you're strolling through the park or exploring new trails, Buddy will be right by your side, enjoying every moment of the journey. He would do well in a peaceful and consistent environment, surrounded by loads of affection. This special pup's journey led him to the Milo Foundation Sanctuary, where he found safety and care after being lost. Now, it's our mission to find Buddy the loving forever home he deserves-a place where he can feel secure, cherished, and surrounded by a family that appreciates his unique qualities. Please call 707-459-4900 to set up an appointment to meet Buddy.

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Say hello to Stella.  We are searching for a very special family for her because she is a special dog.  She looks lile a shepherd mix and we think she is because of her face and body, and she weighs about 50 lbs, but she has short legs carrying her around which is why we need that special family because at only 5 years old, she has some arthritis in her back legs.  It means that if you are looking for a hiking buddy, she is not the one for you.  If you want a dog that will give you lots of love and smiles and be absolutely happy to be with you while you garden, or paint or read a book, or take a short and leisurely stroll around the block, she could be just what you are looking.  This dog wants to be with you, and love you.  Don't we all need a happy face to greet us when we come home?  She could be your steadfast companion.   Stella is also good with cats.  Fine with strangers.  Not a puppy, she is well behaved and easy going with a laid back attitude.  Other than the arthritis, she is in very good shape but you should know that she has had a lot of babies and you can tell by looking at her.  We believe she was used for breeding and then discarded.  Remember, looks fade but personality lasts a lifetime. If you are looking for a really sweet dog who will appreciate you saving her, Stella could be your girl.  There are videos of her on the website at 4dogsfarmrescue.org/Available-dogs.html so please scroll until you see her name and you can watch them there.   Adoption applications are available on the website too - click on the ADOPT at the top of the page or click here - 4dogsfarmrescue.org/Adoption.html   Stella will come to you spayed and fully vetted.

Story
Meet Leva, a young dog with a heart of gold and a gentle soul. Leva is shy at first and can be cautious around new people, but once she learns to trust you, her affectionate side shines through and she’ll shower you with endless cuddles, snuggles, and playful energy, becoming your loyal companion for life! Leva came in as a stray alongside her sister, who was very protective, making it hard for Leva to explore the world on her own. As a result, she’s still a bit unsure about her surroundings, but with the help of staff and volunteers, Leva is steadily gaining confidence. She would love a home with a yard and she’s especially good with other dogs, so having a calm, confident dog in her new home could help her feel more secure as she learns to love the world around her. She’s smart, highly engaged, and with time, patience, and lots of love, we know she will grow into the amazing dog she’s meant to be. Leva is eager to find her forever home where she can continue her journey of growth and blossom into the best companion you could ever wish for!

When playtime rolls around, he truly shines. Whether he’s chasing after a toy or just bounding around, Mishka is truly a joy to be around! His fun-loving personality and gentle spirit make him the perfect companion, turning every day into a new and exciting journey.

OLIVE

Female, 1 yr 2 mos
Pt. Richmond, CA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Olive is an eager, happy youngster who is ready to join a very dog experienced home who can give her the consistency, activity, training she craves. Olive is an achiever she is built for action and learning; she needs and takes to direction well, and needs to know to look to her person for approval, and direction. She is head strong and protective, needing strong leadership! She is a very affectionate young dog who is dog-friendly and house-broken. Olive needs a bit of work on her leash manners. She is very dog friendly, but no beta. An active and engaged person that has the time to provide ongoing socialization, lots of on and off-leash activity, fun, road trips and adventure is going to be the right match for Olive. Does Olive sound like the right match for you? She'll keep you on your toes, love you to the end of the world...she's also cuddly, but ready for action! Olive is at our Sanctuary - but may well come down to Point Richmond for a spell - she is a beauty and a diamond in the RUFF!

MAVIS

Belgian Malinois Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 2 yrs 3 mos
Pt. Richmond, CA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
A super lovely, easy going Malinois! A people pleaser who keeps pace with her person - Run? SURE! Walk, no problem! Ride in the car - ready! Hiking, adventures - learning tricks, par course, agility - climbing, circus dog, playgirl, she is not dominant nor Beta...she is looking to bond and be someone's everything! Very cool dog, she "sit's pretty" and knows other things and is super willing to learn more! Clever, love dog. Updated notes from her foster: Mavis is still the super sweet, loving, goofy leaner she was when she came into Milo and the first assessment was made. I don't have a lot of experience with Mal's so I imagine that she is perhaps mellow for a Malinois, she is definitely not a mellow dog and would really benefit from a breed experienced or working dog experienced home. She is extremely prey driven (squirrels), even though she initially tested ok with cats at MPR....I wouldn't recommend a home with cats or small animals. She has been good with my family's small dogs (though they don't like her due to her size) she has been completely non-reactive to them when they bark at her. On leash, she is about 90% good with meeting new dogs of all sizes, however, if a big dog reacts to her - she will respond in turn with barking or sometimes growling but none of it seems aggressive at all and I think it's more about lack of socialization than anything. I have not tried to have her off-leash because she is extremely fast and agile (can jump very high) and when she is stimulated (sees a squirrel) she literally cannot hear commands and I am not confident enough about her recall to try this. She is actually very calm and mellow in the house, however, she gets very excited/stimulated when we're outside - on walks/hikes. She is not a great leash walker and pulls a lot - I am trying to work with her on heel training, but when she's outside she is not very food motivated so I really have to come up with distractions to get her to focus back on me while walking. She will yip and literally jump and do flips ON LEASH to try and run after the dogs or squirrels. She does not love being left alone or separated from the "pack" at all - so I'd def describe her as a velcro dog. I have been able to leave her home alone for short periods of time, but she doesn't like it at all so she would do best in a home where maybe someone works from home or at least one person is home most of the day. She is wonderful with my nephews (age 3.5 and 8 mos) and is super gentle and tolerant of them. I wouldn't say that she loves kids and seeks out their attention, but she is really good with them when they want to pet and play with her. She of course LOVES people and pets and when she's not over stimulated and is really smart and obedient. She has learned "Place", "Leave it" and already knew Sit, Down, Sit Pretty when we got her. She is such a great dog and would really flourish with some advanced training. 9/2024
