Former foster's Notes: Oliver is a big love bug who would love nothing more than an adoring family willing to work on ironing out his little quirks. A big grassy yard where he could roam and play would also be a huge plus! Smart, sweet and super cuddly, Oliver still has a ton of playful puppy energy and a game and adventurous attitude that would make a welcome addition to an active family of all ages. He will happily play bow for a nice round stuffy or an edible chew.
But, do your due diligence, Great Pyrs are a commitment and come with genetic traits that need to be considered! Sometimes stubborn, protective, have big barks, nocturnal tendencies... but also wonderful with children and other animals as long as they are part of their lives and not intruders our a threat....
Oliver knows how to use a dog door and is very good walking on leash. Like many dogs from the Central Valley, he needs to get used to using stairs and really likes lights to be left on at night. Oliver is still young and very trainable. He is a social, happy, charismatic fellow for sure!

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.
