My story

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

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!

Gorda is thriving in a loving foster home.

“ Gorda is a sweet calm dog that would love to have another dog in the house, although not necessary. She is shy at first but with time warms up and bonds with the human and shows appreciation and love by lying belly up and asking for love. She is good on leash and sits for treat and has no food aggression. She has no problem with other dogs on walks. She gets nervous with bath, getting in the car and new people (she may have been a farm or an outdoor dog), but she has made great progress, learns fast and allows people to handle her without problem. She is not destructive, does not bark and is very gentle. She will make a a great companion to someone or a family that likes a calm loving pet. "

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.
