Milo Foundation Sanctuary

The Milo Sanctuary in Willits, CA, cares for more than 200 animals. Many great dogs/pups to adopt!!! We welcome volunteers, adopters and visitors by appointment.

The Milo Sanctuary is east of Willits and was founded by Director Lynne Tingle in 1994. Milo also has a thriving adoption center, Milo Point Richmond where the majority of our rescues arrive and are adopted from, however the Milo Sanctuary also has new rescues arriving often. As well as providing a safe place for moms and their puppies, and a place for dogs needing a break from a kennel, our Sanc

tuary provides ample space for dogs to be dogs, and semi tame and feral cats to live their lives! In 30 years the non-profit has saved over 45,000 animals from being euthanized in California shelters! To visit the Sanctuary please email, or call and talk to our office and Adoption Manager, Amy, Tuesday through Saturday, as we have a small yet dedicated staff and want to ensure that we can devote full attention to your visit, and make sure you are a good fit for the animal you wish to adopt. The Milo Sanctuary is always in need of volunteers, foster homes, donors and of course loving families looking to adopt! Please contact us if you would like to help!

18 lives saved at Milo Sanctuary, and 31 arrived at Milo Pt Richmond. 49 dogs and cats safe - a good day.
Two moms with 8 pups each, on lengthy euthanasia lists at Fresno and Tulare, their lives to end Tuesday end of day. We got the call and jumped into action to at least save two moms and their pups.
Chris, a wonderful pilot offered to fly, everything quickly fell into place. Dynamo rescue gal Jenn Ross grabbed crates, picked up the moms and babes, and soon all 18 were in the air headed to Ukiah!
I got them all to Milo Sanctuary by 6:30, Tyson, and Caleb had two rooms all set up in our barn, which has become a full time nursery these days!
Two lovely dogs and their pups no longer facing death. At least these 2 families are safe, many others are not, but we do what we can. The staff here are terrific, willing and positive. They will get great care, and be ready for the rest of their lives in loving homes in about 4-5 weeks!!
Donations towards puppy food and other necessities always appreciated! 26 puppies and their moms eat a LOT of puppy food!!

Ruby is 6 years old and everything you love about a cattle dog—loyal, loving, and completely devoted to her people. 💚

She’s the kind of dog who just wants to be near you, whether that’s joining you for a walk or stretching out in the sunshine by your side. Ruby has a gentle, affectionate nature and gets along well with other dogs, too.
If you’re looking for a steady, sweet companion to share your days with, Ruby might be your girl. 🐾

To learn more or meet Ruby, call 707-459-4900.

Freckles might greet you with a little “who are you?” bark at first… but give her a minute and she’ll show you just how sweet she is.

This one-year-old girl absolutely loves other dogs and would be happiest with a built-in best friend at home. Having a confident canine buddy helps her feel safe—and once she does, her playful, affectionate personality really shines. 🐾

Freckles isn’t the life-of-the-party type, but she is the deep-connection, loyal-companion type. The kind of dog who picks her people and loves them big.
If you have a friendly dog and a little patience, Freckles could be something really special.

Come meet her at Milo Sanctuary this weekend—she’ll be the one pretending to be shy for about 60 seconds. 😉

Call 707–459– 4900 or 707-354-1388 to take the next steps to meeting your new family member, Freckles. 💚

Meet Lassi, our beautiful 7-year-old Border Collie mix with the sweetest soul ❤️

This lovely girl was loved a little too much… with food. 😉She arrived at 90 lbs, so she’s now on her glow-up journey! Lassi is looking for a home committed to daily walks, a healthy routine, and low-cal treats like veggies and fruit. She’ll happily trade snacks for praise, affection, and your company.

She’s dog-friendly, but no cats please.

Lassie has a gentle heart, an affectionate nature, and a deep desire to bond with her person. Give her support, structure, and love—and she’ll give it back twentyfold.
If you’re looking for a loyal companion who’s ready for her second chance, Lassi is your girl. 🐾✨

To meet her, please visit her profile www.milofoundation.org and give us a call:
707-459-4900
707-354-1388

Sharing Lassi gets her one paw closer to her person/people. Thank you!
