Ricky has come such a long way in a short amount of time. He is good with other dogs and starting to show glimpses of the sweet, loving boy he is. He may have a big bark in the kennel, but that’s just his way of saying, "Hey, come get me out!” Once outside, he’s all heart!! He loves attention, especially a good scratch on the butt, enjoys running around, and will happily play a game of fetch, although he may not bring it back to you. He's working on it, though. It’s clear Ricky once belonged to someone, and he just needs another chance to be that loyal companion again.

More about this rescue
The Mylo Foundation was established in 2016 with the mission of giving shelter dogs a second chance. We believe there are no bad dogs, just bad people, and we work tirelessly to facilitate adoptions, foster care, volunteering, and donations to support these deserving animals. Mylo was rescued from the Santa Rosa Shelter. He was just a little puppy then but was still facing death. At that time the shelter used the gas chamber. I was only 12 and was volunteering.
I waited day after day with Mylo for someone, anyone to come help him. No one ever came. Then the day came for him to be killed. I just could not let that happen, so I took him home.
The agreement with my mom was, I had to take care of him. I thought that would be easy, but it wasn't. For the first couple of days, night after night he would cry. I was just a kid and I was exhausted but I knew I had to take care of him or he would die.
Mylo was with me for 16 years. We did everything together. He was truly my best friend. He died in 1999 of old age. At the time I really did not know how I could live without seeing him everyday. But slowly I let go and found more "Mylos" who just needed someone willing to sit with them through the first couple of nights and encourage them to let go and trust.
This is why I started The Mylo Foundation
