Meet Ryder! He is a smart, handsome, athletic and eager to please great pyrenees/border collie mix looking for his loving forever home. He loves to play with both humans and dog friends!
Ryder was saved from euthanasia at a crowded local shelter and he came to Milo as a diamond in the rough. He started off only knowing sit and paw, but has since learned basic obedience and impulse control commands such as place, come, down, and no (leave it/stop). He now walks well on a loose leash (though he can get a distracted by squirrels). Ryder does best with structure and a daily routine that includes play and exercise. He has been loving his daily runs with his foster, as well as his neighborhood walks and play sessions in the backyard, balls and frisbees are his favorite toys! Ryder plays well with small and medium dogs of all ages (some big, assertive dogs make him a little nervous). Between activities, Ryder can be left at home unsupervised for up to 4-5 hours.
Ryder has completed a board and train program that has helped to build his confidence around strangers, improve his focus on walks with distractions and manage his play impulses while in the house. He is crate trained and sleeps through the night in his crate. Ryder is looking for an active, patient and loving home with or without another dog that will continue to reinforce his training with the support of his board & train trainer as needed.
If you're looking for a loving, playful companion who's eager to please and to learn, Ryder might be your perfect match. Apply today to set up a meet and greet!

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.
