Kiwi is a delightful young Pyrenees-mix, happy go-lucky and hilarious! His foster family says that Kiwi is very friendly with people and loves other dogs. He doesn't seem too concerned about cats and doesn't have a huge prey drive. He loves being outdoors, running around with other dogs and his older with his toys (especially his stuffed otter). Kiwi has mixed colored eyes (each eye is 1/2 ice blue and 1/2 deep brown). We think he's close to full grown at about 60 lb. He's fully house trained, motivated to please, and has this wonderful tendency to be chill at home and very playful outside. This sweetest boy wants to be someone's best friend for life!
Maintaining a dog social lifestyle is important towards making life with a Pyr in suburban areas and going out in the world successful and enjoyable.
It's important to understand a bit about Pyrs before taking one home! Not a Golden Retriever in white.... not driven to please, they can be stubborn and they do have a big bark, They tend to be nocturnal .... classically they like large outdoor space to watch over and other animals and humans to protect .... terrific with children...

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.
