Meet Polar! 🐾❄️
Polar, the miniature polar bear, is a playful, active, smart little guy. In just the three days we have been together he is already learning sit, and seems enthusiastic to learn more commands, as he is highly treat motivated. He starts his day going outside to do his potty business and then laying in a doggie bed at my feet while I do my work from home. But don’t let his slow start fool you, as he is all about play. He loves his toys and will retrieve them as many times as you can throw them. He loves to go on walks and greets other dogs and people with excitement and appropriate sniffs. He sometimes gets a little mouthy with play, so probably best with kids 10 and up. He corrects well, and with a little structure and consistency will be a great fun-loving, well-mannered addition to a household. When he does settle in for lap time you are rewarded with the silkiest fur that immediately lowers your heart rate. He does not shed, and will let me give him a good brushing to keep that silky coat in tip-top shape (so he will need consistent grooming). He has really good recall when playing in the yard and it is time to check in or come into the house. Do you currently have a playful dog that would enjoy the company of another playful companion, or do you have time to become his favorite playmate, then apply to make this tiny bear the new fun member of your household.

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.
