My story

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

The Professor is a thoughtful and gentle girl who is looking for a patient, loving home where she can settle in and build confidence at her own pace. She is both affection motivated and food motivated, making her a great candidate for positive, reward-based training and strong bonds with her people.

She has a medium energy level and enjoys a healthy balance of activity and downtime. The Professor can be left alone for up to 4–6 hours, which makes her a good fit for a home with a consistent routine. She can be vocal at times and is shy in new situations, needing time and understanding as she adjusts—but once she feels comfortable, her sweet and loyal personality shines through.

The Professor is happiest with another dog in the home, as canine companionship helps her feel more secure. She would do best with dog-savvy children ages 13 and up who understand how to respect her space and let her warm up at her own speed. With patience, positive reinforcement, and love, The Professor will make a wonderful and rewarding companion.

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.
