Two beautiful boys, like so many other Great Pyrs, they landed in a Shelter where they had very limited time. Happily a foster offered to keep them a couple weeks so Milo could make room for them both to land at Milo Pt Richmond - and then go to our Sanctuary if they don't get adopted or fostered - as a kennel environment is no place for a GP long term!
Great Pyrs are lovely creatures that come with their own bag of tricks, protective, watchful, usually very good with children and other dogs - as these are, as well when introduced properly they are classically good with other species big and small. Once situated however, they do become protective of their pack/flock/family so it is important to keep them well socialized in and out of the home.
Pyrs have a HUGE bark that will make anyone think twice - but also make your neighbors unhappy, so that is definitely a consideration for Pyrs living in a suburban environment!! AND, they are stubborn and independent and not like a Golden Retriever who just wants to please... nope! So, please do your homework if considering a gentle giant like these polar bears, they also can prove difficult to get in and out of cars, hate crates - and LOVE being outdoors... but they are LOVES!

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.
