My story

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

Cheyenne is calling all "outdoorsy" people! She will thrive in a rural setting-hiking and long walks with you. She will love lounging around the house, she will come in for some snuggles, and pets, helping in the garden, or laying at your feet while you are at your desk or watching TV. She will also hunt out any rodents that may be lurking - she is into the "sport of hunting".... no small animals for her!! Cheyenne will join you for a car ride anytime! She loves to go!
Cheyenne knows many commands and loves to learn new ones; she is praise and treat-motivated.
Cheyenne needs an experienced adult only home who can provide her with a good amount of exercise. She is very responsive and bright. She is looking for a calm, relatively predictable setting. Cheyenne can develop protective habits, and thus needs savvy folks that can reassure her and not let her feel like she needs to be in charge and guarding. She is clever and responsive and tends towards independence, but likes to be nearby, and is quite loving and affectionate and can be silly, relaxed and charming as well! A very smart, loyal and loving companion!

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.
