The Milo Foundation
Our Mission
The Milo Foundation is dedicated to rescuing adoptable dogs and cats from high-kill animal shelters and finding them loving, lifelong homes. We are a proud 501(c)(3) no-kill organization that provides a second chance for homeless pets throughout California.
A Legacy of Compassion
Our story began in 1994, inspired by a remarkable Australian Shepherd named Milo. Despite being born deaf and blind, Milo lived a joyful life, proving that every animal deserves a chance to thrive. This spirit drives our work as we continue to rescue and rehabilitate thousands of animals each year.
Our Care Model
We operate through a robust, multi-faceted rescue system, including our Milo Point Richmond Adoption Center and our expansive 330-acre Sanctuary in Mendocino County. Our pets receive comprehensive veterinary care, including spay/neuter surgery, vaccinations, and microchipping, ensuring they are healthy and ready for their new beginnings. We also rely on a dedicated network of foster parents who provide vital one-on-one time, helping our animals build the confidence and routine they need for success in a permanent home.
Finding Your Perfect Match
At Milo, we are committed to making the perfect match for both you and your potential new 4-legged family member. We encourage you to read our pet bios carefully and complete an adoption application to help our team facilitate a smooth, thoughtful transition. We believe that adopting a pet is a partnership that creates lasting, meaningful bonds.
Join Our Mission
We invite you to visit us at our Point Richmond Adoption Center, where no appointment is necessary during open hours. You can also make a difference by exploring our volunteer opportunities, becoming a foster parent, or supporting our sanctuary animals with a donation. Together, we can help save lives and ensure every pet finds the loving home they deserve.
