Cora is a sweet affectionate girl who LOVES to be by her person's side. Likely due to being abandoned, she bonds very intensely with "her person" and shows stress - crying and barking - when she is not with them. She would do well in a home where she can have a constant companion with whom she goes everywhere. She is pleasant and good in public and can respectfully join for breakfast or lunch at an outdoor cafe. Luckily, her small size means she is quite portable and she even does well being carried in a shoulder bag. She would make an excellent emotional support dog, as she is very intuitive and connected to her person.
She is friendly and playful with other small dogs but is nervous around larger dogs. Rather than play with toys or chase a ball, Cora wants to cuddle or lay next to her person and be pet, often rolling over for belly rubs. Cora is good on leash, she likes short walks (and does best in her harness), and is good with children!
Cora had a litter of pups at the end of 2023 who were all adopted so she is now waiting for her turn to find a home!

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.
