Amaya is a sweet, attentive girl who came to us from the Stanislaus County Shelter where she had run out of time. She's friendly and affectionate once she knows you, taking a minute or two (and some treats) to warm up to strangers. But when she does, she's great at giving hugs and kisses both on your hands and face if you'll let her. She knows a couple of basic commands but would love a home where she can learn more! She can be a little mouthy, but it's always very gentle and comes from a place of play, so a home that can work on this behavior with her would be perfect. She also LOVES squeaky chew toys, so she'd love some toys to call her own!
Amaya needs some patience as she gets used to living in a home, learning what's expected of her. But she's already made great progress in training at Milo, and now happily sits on a bench and watches the world go by. With a little work on socialization (she prefers slow intros to other dogs), acclimatizing her to the human world, and plenty of mental and physical stimulation and she'll be a loving and energetic family member!

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.
