Chili is a pudgy gal who is gaining confidence as she continues to grow into her big feet! She loves to snuggle and looks to her people for reassurance. She came from a difficult situation and will need an owner who is calm and dedicated to giving her time to ease into new situations. She has been doing great in her foster home with other dogs and loves going on walks in town (no dog parks yet, as she is still getting her shots). As she has come a long way already we want to make sure this trend of slow introductions to new places/people/animals continues! She can be nervous at first with new interactions and hides, however, once she sees that fun is around the corner, she jumps in to join the fun! She is still a puppy, so she will need training and positive reinforcement to grow into her full potential.

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.
