Mikaela is a gentle, sensitive soul who just needs a little time to feel safe. She can be shy when meeting new people or entering new environments, but with patience and a calm approach, she slowly begins to open up. Once she trusts you, she shows her affectionate side and will sweetly lean in for comfort and reassurance.
With a medium energy level, Mikaela enjoys playtime and companionship but also appreciates a peaceful environment where she can relax. She does well with other dogs, though she benefits from slow introductions and continued socialization to help build her confidence. Ongoing positive experiences with both people and dogs will be important as she continues to blossom.
Mikaela is affection motivated, making gentle praise and loving attention the best way to connect with her. Because she can be timid, she would do best with dog-savvy children 13+ who understand how to respect her space and move at her pace. She is not a fit for a home with cats.
In the right home — one filled with patience, structure, and kindness — Mikaela will grow into a deeply devoted companion who forms a beautiful bond with her people.

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.
