Story

Max was born on April 10, 2021. He is an Australian Shepherd with a red/copper coat, blue eyes and a long tail. He is a medium-sized athletic dog. Max forms deep bonds with us and can become jealous if he doesn’t receive enough attention. He is very friendly, loves to cuddle, and still thinks he’s a puppy. We acquired Max June 29, 2021, without breeding rights. He is intelligent, energetic, and extremely loyal. Max loves the outdoors, especially camping, and enjoys joining my husband on trail rides while mountain biking. The time we acquired Max was also when my mom was diagnosed with dementia. Two years ago, I lost my mom and have not been able to return to work since then. Letting Max go is incredibly difficult, but due to my current financial situation and not working. I can no longer afford to care for him the way he deserves. Max is a smart, devoted, high energy companion-perfect for those who enjoy an active lifestyle and want a dog who is affectionate. Adoption fee negotiable!

Pongo is a real ball of energy, with enough enthusiasm to keep you going all day long.

He's always eager to learn new tricks and commands, and with the right training, he's sure to be the top dog in no time. However, it's worth noting that Pongo may need some extra guidance when it comes to being around kids. He's still learning the ropes, but with patience and lots of treats, he'll be the perfect family pet in no time. Please call 707-459-4900 if you would like to meet Pongo.

Story

Meet Amber, a bright spark with a sensitive soul 💛 Amber may be a little shy at first, but once she’s had time to settle in, her true personality shines. She builds trust at her own pace and blossoms into a loving, affectionate companion for those willing to give her that patience and reassurance. This high-energy girl is a total ball of fun! She loves to run, zoom, and play—basically a happy little ball of energy just waiting for her next adventure. Whether it’s a game in the yard or an active outing, Amber is ready to go! She has a sweet, gentle nature and a soft mouth, making her a considerate playmate.

Amber is affection-motivated and responds beautifully to love and praise, making training a rewarding bonding experience. With patience, structure, and plenty of positive reinforcement, she’ll continue growing into a confident and devoted best friend.

MARCY

Australian Shepherd Border Collie

Female, 2 yrs 5 mos

Pt. Richmond, CA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Marcy — a breathtaking beauty with striking features, soulful eyes, and a perfectly athletic build. At 32 pounds (and likely to fill out closer to 36), she’s that just-right size: big enough for adventure, compact enough to fit comfortably into everyday life. Marcy is on a brave and beautiful learning journey. The world still feels big to her, and she approaches new people and situations with a gentle caution. Initially timid, she takes her time observing and processing — but that thoughtful nature is part of what makes her so special. With patience, encouragement, and consistency, you can almost see her confidence growing day by day. She will likely form a deep, devoted bond with her small “pack” of people. Once she feels safe and secure, her intelligence and playful spirit begin to shine. She already has a bit of training under her belt and is eager to learn — especially when treats and praise are involved! Marcy truly thrives when she understands what’s expected of her and can share that learning experience with her people. Continued socialization will be key in helping her blossom into her fullest self. Positive off-leash playtime, athletic outlets, enrichment activities, and learning new tricks will not only build her confidence but strengthen the incredible bond she’s ready to form. She wants so much to get it right and to make her people proud.

Male, 9 yrs 7 mos

Pt. Richmond, CA

Size

Details

Not good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

LOCATION: SANCTUARY IN WILLITS, CA. Shiro likes to play with toys, and is very smart. He is a moderately high drive dog like most herding breeds and likes activity on his terms. He likes his walks but his insecurities keep him from being a dog park dog. He bonds heavily with a particular person and sometimes a particular dog - he is IN LOVE with the dog SNOW KITTY at the Milo Sanctuary, and would follow him anywhere. Shiro is wary of strangers but is very loyal to his people and for this reason he can be protective. He needs a very predictable, low stim. home to be successful. Training and building Shiro's confidence would be key to have Shiro flourish. *Previous Notes* 5/20/17 "Shiro is a super mellow dog. He just loves to sleep all day when we are at work. He does not bark or chew anything up. He is potty and house trained and never has had an accident inside the house. He is so furry and soft and has stunningly beautiful blue eyes. Shiro loves to run around and play fetch and catch Frisbee when he is not cuddling next to you. He loves the outdoors but is not a super energetic dog. He will just sleep all day or go for a walk with you. He loves squeaky toys and will just collect them from around the house if you hide them. He is intelligent and treat motivated. He was able to learn how to sit and was learning how to stay in just a few training sessions. *Shiro has probably had a rough past. When the vet examined him, we found a pellet in his x-rays. It is probably from being shot. He bonds very well with women and is more skittish with males. He also tends to get scared of men and tries to guard his female guardian sometimes. He does not like strangers coming up to him and gets protective of his owners. He would do well with experienced owners. We are not sure how he does with kids - Milo suggests a home without children for a myriad of reasons due to his stranger danger. He is insecure and can react poorly when meeting new dogs, but usually settles in and is fine - but can take some work with him and a new dog to get past the initial snapping and jitters, running with his tail tucked. *He needs lots of love, affection, and discipline, which we were unable to provide with our busy lives." *Shiro is not a first time dog, nor a city dog. He has fairly severe stranger danger and a bite record, he has fear based aggression to dogs and people. He needs a predictable environment, and a buddy dog. Interested please email an application to sanctuary@milofoundation.org Thank you for considering adoption of a Milo Foundation Sanctuary dog. Our Sanctuary is where our rescued dogs who have had difficulty in a home in the past, have behavioral issues, or too much energy, or for some, aggression issues with other dogs, or intense stranger danger that make them more difficult to safely and happily live in urban environments. These are not beginner dogs or for the most part nor are they for families with children. IF you are looking for an easy dog to add to your family, we suggest looking at the dogs at our Adoption Center, Milo Pt Richmond. BUT, if you can offer a safe and nurturing home to a dog with some behavioral "quirks" please do send an application today. Thank you.
