I’ve been told I’m “special,” but I just think I’m a tiny girl with a big, brave heart! My life started out pretty scary — I was rescued from a bad situation, and that very same day I had my puppies. I was so nervous and confused… but then something wonderful happened.
A super-sweet foster family took me in and cared for me and my two babies. They helped me learn that people can be gentle and safe. 💕 After my puppies found their own homes, I moved to a new place — and that’s where I met my very best friend, Otto! He’s a big, handsome lab who helps me feel brave. I follow him everywhere!
There’s something important you should know about me: I’m still a shy girl, and being touched can feel scary to me. I don’t like hands coming toward me too fast, and I need time — real time — to trust. I promise I’m trying, but I need a family with patience, understanding, and ideally some dog experience to help me continue blooming. 🌼
If you want a gentle little companion who will adore you in her own quiet way, and you’re willing to go slow and let me grow at my own pace, I might be your perfect Violet. 💛

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.
