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.

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.

DIXIE DAWG

Australian Shepherd Rottweiler

Female, 4 mos

Pt. Richmond, CA

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

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

Story

Stunning happy-go-lucky girl who apparently is Aussie Shepherd, Rottweiler, Border Collie, Bernese Mt Dog.... the parents photo is in the photos. Dixie is a lovable gem of a dog, goofy and happy, playful then more calm and relaxed. From previous owner: Dixie sits, lays, rolls over with encouragement, stays while I walk away and offers her paws willingly. Shake. She happily eats pears, apples, broccoli, &. cheddar cheese. She likes an egg or unseasoned broth on her kibbles. Still eats 3xday plus treats. Is expected to be 55 to 60 lbs (at least) when full grown. Dixie is terrific with other dogs and has great recall for off-leash hiking. Stays with a pack or her person. She knows some commands and was well taken care of - just too big and too young for the senior citizen she was given to. She is a terrific pup off to a good start! Keeping up with her training and socialization will be important - she loves playing outdoors and with other dogs.

She’s still learning her leash manners, but with her treat motivation and quick problem-solving skills, she’s on track to pick things up fast.

Meet Emery! 🐾 Emery is a bright, athletic young dog who’s ready to find her perfect match. At first, she can be a little reserved, but once she feels comfortable, her affectionate and playful personality quickly shines through. She loves staying active—whether it’s a jog around the neighborhood, a game of fetch, or just zooming around the yard—and she’d be happiest with a family who enjoys getting out and moving, too. Smart and eager to please, Emery already knows her basics and walks well on leash. She’s very motivated by treats, which makes training and bonding a breeze. Emery enjoys the company of other dogs and would do well in a home with a canine friend to play with. Because she’s full of energy and enthusiasm, she’ll do best with older, dog-savvy kids who can join in on her adventures. If you’re looking for a sweet, spirited companion who will keep you smiling (and on your toes), Emery might just be the one! 💛
