My story

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

Meet Jiffy! A loving, curious, adorable, scruffy pup. Jiffy is a dream if you like to keep things tidy. Not only is he soft and loves to be pet, he doesn’t really shed. He’s a gentle sweetheart, cuddle bug, couch potato who occasionally gets the zoomies and likes to do 360° spins when he’s excited. He looks like a stuffed animal and has a very cute chonky belly. He has puppy energy at times but also loves to take a long nap alongside you while you watch TV on the couch or work from home.
Jiffy is potty and crate trained and doesn’t seem to have much separation anxiety. He’s a bit shy on leash outside and timid on sidewalks, but is more relaxed and playful on grass. His small size makes him easy to control, especially with lots of positive reinforcement (and treats)! He also loves to say hi to passerbys.
Photos don’t do him justice, his cuteness and essence can only be fully experienced in person!

Jiffy is one of twelve dogs rescued from the Baldwin Park Shelter in Los Angeles to make room for fire victims and evacuees. These were all available for adoption at the Shelter prior to the fires, so owners will not be looking for them. Taking them out was saving their lives so as not to be euthanized early to make room for "fire dogs."
These dogs need time and understanding, safe havens, and lots of love and TLC. Your help and support is appreciated!

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.
