My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Newman is sensitive, watchful and affectionate. He's a cool dog, ready for dog- savvy folks willing to give him a bit of patience, lots of love, ongoing socialization - he's social with other dogs, and great at reading their cue.

We also know that Newman is not comfortable around young children and toddlers - so an adult home (not expecting to have children) would be best for Newman. He can initially be a little independent and takes his time to warm up, but when he does, he becomes a sweetheart who seeks affection.

- Some notes from his foster:

He's aware, sensitive, inquisitive, and incredibly sweet. His love language is touch, and he loves a good snuggle and head rub. He is highly intelligent and learns tricks quickly (we've taught him a few tricks -- sit, down, place in his kennel, paw, and stay). He's learned to sit and wait for our cue when we feed him.

He would do well in a home that allows him space to roam freely in their home. At night, he sleeps in his crate, though he prefers to free-roam in the house if he's left alone during the day. And in return he'll be the perfect boy, no destructive behaviors and potty trained!

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.
