Please meet Peyton and read what her foster family has to say about her.
- Peyton is an incredibly sweet, smart, and loyal dog. She is affectionate and wants to be around her people. She will wag her whole body if she sees you after not seeing you for a little while. She will curl up on the base of our bed when we are getting ready for bed and she will curl up at the base of your feet as you are working in your office.
She is not a super energetic Aussie. We go for a longer walk in the morning and then she mostly hangs out with us in the day while we are working.She has full access to the backyard, but doesn’t seem to need to run around. She mostly wants to hang out with her people. She is super smart and learned to sit in about an hour. She knows to come and she is starting to understand “leave it”. She also is house trained.
We have uncovered a few challenges around her reactiveness to dogs and small children. We have seen this behavior while on walks as well as with a friendly, chill dog who came over to play in our back yard. She was barking and lunging at the other dog, despite the other dog backing away, not making eye contact, and trying to hide in a corner. It appears to be a bit of a bad herding instinct where she is herding very aggressively. Then the other night, she did bark at our 3 year old son (which was new). She clearly needs to develop a little more confidence and be able to decompress a bit more in a household with adults and older children and no other dogs.
She will definitely be an amazing dog and cuddle bug. -

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.
