Story

Koda is a beautiful, loving 7-year-old Australian Shepherd/Border Collie Mix (~65 lbs). Sadly, he's struggling to adjust to life with our toddler, and we want to explore finding him the right home where he can truly thrive. Could Your House be Koda's Ideal Home? - No children, no cats, and no other dogs (he may be ok with one other dog with a slow introduction as he is dog reactive and has a strong prey drive). - Ideally a home in a suburban or rural area where he can run and play - A family who understands herding breeds, respects their intelligence, and can provide him with both physical and mental stimulation. - A family who enjoys and prioritizes engaging with their dog consistently every day. He loves scent work, puzzle feeders, and training sessions and likely would love barn hunting/ herding. His personality is opinionated, but deeply loving. He responds to respect and positive reinforcement, never force.

Story

I need to re-home my handsome 4-year-old, Jax. He has basic command, crate, and potty training and we have had a couple of great years of running, walking, and hiking in rural Vermont. He has had fantastic vet care and a Farmers Dog diet. After driving him to the West Coast, I found that my travel, long hours, and city life are not compatible with his need for companionship and exercise. He is half mini-Aussie, quarter Beagle, quarter Bulldog rescue, and is at his happiest running on leash, racing dogs in a park, and snuggling with anyone. I would love to chat more if you are interested and/or coordinate a meet up!

Story

Maybe is the kind of dog who seems to read your mind & know exactly when you need a nudge, a paw, or a snuggle. She’s incredibly loyal & affectionate w/her people & great w/dogs. She’s a very loved dog whose story took a heartbreaking turn w/the arrival of her person’s newborn baby, who triggered her sensitivity & reactivity in a way no one could've anticipated. For everyone's safety, her family had to make the very painful decision to find her a new home. It's a decision made out of love, not convenience & her persons heart is breaking. She shines around dogs & would likely do best in a home w/a canine friend who can help her feel confident & secure but it's not a dealbreaker. She'll take patience to warm up & trust you but when she does, she'll be completely devoted. She's housebroken, good when you’re gone, does not resource guard & knows potty bells & dog doors. Age 4, 55lbs. Vibe: clever, playful, chill, average energy, PicVids: https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B22JtdOXmJ80eB7

Details

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Pongo is a real ball of energy, with enough enthusiasm to keep you going all day long. Due to his excitement, Pongo can be a little mouthy at times, so you might want to invest in some sturdy chew toys! Despite his playful nature, Pongo is also one smart cookie. 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.

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.

Story

I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Dog Adoption:6Ginkgo – The Bright, Bouncy Brainiac with Double Dew Claws Meet Ginkgo, a 2-year-old Border Collie mix with double dew claws, a brilliant mind, and a whole lot of joyful enthusiasm packed into his 66-pound frame. He’s energetic, playful, and entertaining, bringing fun wherever he goes. Lively and curious: Ginkgo starts off bouncy and eager. He loves sniffing, and happily trots over for treats, which he takes gently. Playful and silly: He entertains himself by sprinting around with a toy, tossing in joyful hops. Smart and trainable: He responds well to ‘sit’ and is perfecting ‘down’. Affectionate: As he settles, he leans in for pets, and even weaves between legs in his goofy, loving way. Still learning manners: He’s honing his leash manners and “four on the floor”, which he’s proud of his amazing progress. Ginkgo has attended doggie playgroup and would thrive with a well-matched canine buddy or as a solo dog. He’s ready for someone who appreciates both his spark and his sweetness.December 8, 2025, 1:41 pm

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Declawed, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

I am at Oakland Animal Services in kennel Dog I:4Lakeshore is a 1-year-old, 35-pound border collie mix with the best windswept rabbit ears you’ve ever seen—always perked, always listening, and always ready for fun. This sweet, friendly puppy is curious, affectionate, and happiest when he’s right by your side giving kisses or bouncing up for attention. This high-energy, enthusiastic youngster arrived with very little training, but thanks to those giant ears and his naturally responsive nature, he learns quickly. Lakeshore already knows a great “sit,” and even an impressive sit-and-wait! He’s still working through typical puppy habits like jumping up and getting a little mouthy during treat time, so he’ll thrive with adopters ready to guide him through his teen-pup manners. Lakeshore is playful and vocal with other dogs, and enjoys chase games. He’d do best with well-matched dog friends or as a solo dog with dog buddies to meet. With his big personality, Lakeshore is ready to be someone’s joyful, goofy, love-soaked companion.November 26, 2025, 2:46 pm
