My story

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

Rocko is a lovable and affectionate pitty mix who is in search of his forever home. Rocko is a friendly dog who loves to cuddle and shower his humans with affection. He is a true sweetheart who will steal your heart in no time! He is a cuddle bug who loves nothing more than snuggling up with his humans on the couch. A short walk or two around the neighborhood will suffice, and then, in true couch potato-style, he's making himself comfy on the sofa-hopefully, with his human next to him. He is a loyal companion who will stick by your side through thick and thin. He is a quick learner and eager to please. He would benefit from ongoing training and socialization. While Rocko is "okay" with other dogs, he can be selective and would be happiest as King of the Castle. He may need a slow introduction to new dogs to ensure a positive interaction.
If you're looking for a friendly and affectionate dog who will be your loyal companion, then Rocko is the one for you. He is ready to find his forever family and give them all the love he has to offer.

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.
