My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Tux, a distinguished 8.5-year-old gentleman with a tiny frame and a huge capacity for love.

Tux was brought to Milo by a kind Good Samaritan who found him, and now this little old man is hoping for a calm, caring home to spend his golden years. He can be a bit shy at first, but once he warms up, he shows his affectionate, devoted side—and it’s pure sweetness.

With his low energy lifestyle and soft mouth, Tux is the perfect mellow companion. He’s family friendly, really enjoys the company of other dogs, and is wonderfully housetrained, making settling in that much easier. In his foster home, his canine foster sibling has been showing him the ropes and they've been sharing toys and snuggle up together. He's not particularly food motivated, but he'll do anything for affection, so we're sure you could teach this old dog some new tricks!

If you’re looking for a gentle soul to share cozy days and quiet affection with, Tux is ready to trot into your heart and home.

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.
