Please meet Orville and read what his foster has to say about him.
Orville has been an excellent foster. I've fostered maybe 9-10 dogs and he's been one of the easier ones. Orville settled in fairly quickly with our dog Panda to help him. He would really benefit from having another dog around as he constantly checks in with Panda for behavior cues and is much more confident with him around. He would also really benefit from constant exercise as he has a lot of puppy tendencies and energy. He gets at least 1.5 hours of walks in a day, plus a 2-4 mile hike or 3-5 mile bike ride every other day. Laura works from home so he's hardly alone but he was crated for about 4-5 hours while we were out for Thanksgiving with no issue. Now that he's getting comfortable in the house he's starting to counter surf and open cabinets.
He deals well with things outside the house, but he is not always as welcoming to visitors to the home initially. He would probably do best if there were not a lot of visitors coming and going. For the most part, we find him absolutely delightful with us and our dog.
If you would like to meet this adventurous guy, please submit an application for him.

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.
