Story
Poor, sweet Petunia was a terrific mess of mats and foxtails, she needed help - badly! Fortunately she landed at the Porterville Shelter and they took care of her! Now at Milo and gearing up to find the loving home and spoiling she deserves for the rest of her life! Currently weighing under 13 pounds, too small to be left outside which clearly she was….But Petunia is resilient and will bounce back and learn to trust and soak up the love and comforts she craves. Petunia's amazing foster had the following to say about her: Petunia is a sweet little baby who just wants to be your lapdog and shadow. She is good with other dogs and wants to play with them. She is a little fearful of others walking by on the street but has done great with leash and potty training. She was neglected for so long but never lost sight of the pleasure of human connection. She is super gentle, super soft, likes to wear clothes, and is quite silly when she plays. She would be an amazing family dog, and will make anyone with a lap happy!

Story
My name is Duke! When I first came to Milo, I was pretty matted and scared. But now I’m feeling so happy, safe, and brave, it’s like a whole new me. I absolutely love going for walks and hikes (I can even hike off leash!). People always stop and tell me how cute I am, and once they meet me, they say I’m really sweet too, which makes my tail wag extra hard because it’s true, I’ve got a whole lot of love to give. Sometimes when I’m out with my foster mom I give her a little smile just because I’m so happy. She says I have a heart of gold, and I think she might be right. I love other dogs, and I like people too, I just need a moment to know they’re safe, and then I’m all in with cuddles and affection. I sleep nicely in my crate at night, love being outdoors, and have the best time playing with my dog friends. Now that I feel safe and confident, I’m ready to find my forever home, hopefully with a dog sibling who likes to play as much as I do. Apply today to meet me, I'd love to come home with you!

Story
Nirai (means calm) and her 4 friends were all dumped in the streets of Fremont. They were all neglected dirty and very matted. She is more timid and nervous than the others. Needs more time to decompress and feel safe at her foster home. The shelter had her shaved down since she was severely matted (See my before and after picture!). She is now relaxing at her foster home. More photos and info to come as she learns and feels safe. 1/20/26 Foster Home Update: She was scared for the first two days but now she is a completely different dog. She sleeps very well through the night in her crate is potty trained and already knows how to use the doggie door to go to the backyard for her business. She is good with other dogs though she doesn’t play with them much yet. She is also great with my 5-year-old son. She loves human company more than dogs for now. She plays with my son and my husband sleeps on our laps and loves belly rubs. She also seems fine when we leave her at home for a few hours. I’m feeding her home-cooked food and she loves carrots and treats. See how happy she is now in the links below! Watch my video #1Watch my video #2 3/17/26 Foster Home Update: She is good with other dogs but gets a little bit possessive and is attached to me. But overall she is great with small dogs. Ok with big dogs too as I do pet sitting but doesn't like when they are hyperactive. She is the sweetest dog. so easy going fully trained. Whoever adopts her will be lucky to have her. Nirai loves running and playing in the backyard.May 12, 2026, 12:42 am
