A HUGE THANK-YOU GOES OUT TO SOLID GOLD BRAND FOOD and to RAINBOW AG in Ukiah, for their offer to receive and store 40,000 pounds of the donated food for our Sanctuary and newly rescued dogs! We are thrilled!
PICK UP TRUCK! This has become a very urgent need as the Founder's truck, which had become the Milo Sanctuary truck, has been TOTALLED. This leaves us without a decent sanctuary vehicle. Some of the staff have vehicles but they cannot be depended on or used daily for Milo purposes. We need a basic, used 4x4 type, prefferably a long-bed or extended cab, a four wheel drive truck is ideal.
URGENT NEED! Kawasaki Mule, John Deer Gator or any 4-wheel work vehicle.
Pre-Fab buildings and Storage sheds and Housing for staff.
NEW! EX-PENS also known as SURROUNDS or PUPPY PENS 2.5 feet and higher
De-Humidifier for MILO MARIN, the building is lacking in air flow, and with all the laundry we do etc. the place gets down-right humid!!!
Heavy duty carts, dollys and wagons.
Fencing materials – roll fencing, wood posts, T-posts
Corrugated metal and plastic panels
Digital Camera for more animal photos and candid shots from our Sanctuary!

IT'S A GREAT TIME to adopt a Cat or Kittens!
The adoption fees for all Kittens and Cats over 5 months of age are $100 for one, or TWO FOR $150!!! "6 lives left" cats are $50-$75--cats that have burned up a few of their years, and nine lives. We are more than happy to negotiate in order to have these adult to senior kitties get the homes they deserve! We are also loosening up on our "Kittens only adopted in pairs" policy!! We will consider solo adoptions on a case-by-case basis. If you have a loving home, and a single kitten won't be lonely, let's make it work! All Milo kitties are Leukemia tested, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and spay/neutered. These new adoption fees do NOT cover our costs, so donations are always appreciated (and tax deductible!)
Young, newly available kittens are regular fees; one for $150/two for $250. We want the kittens we've had longer, who are getting bigger, to get homes now! With teenage kittens you can get a much better sense of their personalities and energy levels. They also are easier for introducing into a home with dogs and young children. We have MANY KITTENS that are very good with both dogs and kids!!
THE SMALL DOG POPULATION IN THE SHELTERS HAS SKYROCKETTED, TO WHERE THERE ARE MORE SMALL DOGS THAN LARGE DOGS FACING EUTHANASIA IN CALIFORNIA'S SHELTERS! MILO rescues as many as we can, and in the interest of doing all we can to move them along into new homes, we are lowering our adoption fees on the under 15 pounders (and no, we don't have to get the scale out! We are open to discussion on small dogs). With some exceptions; males are $150 and females $200, if we have had them available for two weeks or longer. Chihuahuas are always discounted! AND "Two for" deals are happily considered for Chihuahuas and all small dogs. They LOVE a buddy!
PLEASE help to save OLIVE!
Friday night update from Olive's foster mom Sandy:
"Olive had her valuloplasty today. The balloon was able to open her heart valve to 50%, which her cardiologist called successful, but he did say she most likely will need another valuloplasty at some point. She is in recovery, they didn’t see any negative side effects, and said she has an amazing appetite. They will keep her in the hospital and, assuming nothing changes overnight, she’ll leave there tomorrow. Dr. Allen will do rounds tomorrow at 8am, so we should have an update after that. Can’t hurt to continue to have good thoughts for her!"
OLIVE (aka GOLDIE) was one of the highly sought after Susannah puppies.... she had many applications, and one lucky family was so excited to be chosen as her adopters. On her scheduled spay day, our vet detected a substantial heart murmur. The next day we had three other vets examine her, and all concurred that she had multiple heart issues. An ultrasound was done, and the damage was clearly significant. She was given months to at most a year to live. Her foster family is going to give her the best quality life, no matter how long, or short, it is!
Milo is burdened with some major vet bills. Many rescued pets come to us with health issues. We do not give up on them, hence our massive bills.
PLEASE help Milo raise the funds for Olive's surgery, that could extend her life. A balloon valvuloplasty. The cardiologist estimated the cost at $2,500-$4,000. (Looks like it is coming in at the high end of the estimate.)
We have created a ChipIn page: http://milofoundation.chipin.com/olive-the-puppy-needs-surgery-to-try-and-save-her-life-severe-heart-defect
Or you can donate via our website:

We also have Sweet Violet. This sweet senior Cocker Spaniel was blinded by cataracts, until her just done eye surgery! Now she can see for the first time in years, and can go to a new home for the rest of her hopefully long life!
There is a small balance that needs to be paid at the ophthalmologist for Violet. Her mom foster Lori and her family have paid most of the bill.
PLEASE Chip in if you can! Anything helps.

MILO HAS MANY FANTASTIC ANIMALS NEEDING LOVING HOMES! WE ALSO NEED FOSTER HOMES TO GIVE THEM A BREAK FROM BEING IN A CAGE!! PLEASE STOP BY MILO MARIN IF YOU CAN HELP A CAT OR SMALL DOG HAVE A LOVING HOME, FOREVER, OR JUST FOR A WEEK OR TWO!
We cannot save as many lives, and sustain our sanctuary, without YOUR help! Donations, foster homes, and volunteers ALL help us accomplish our goal, to save as many adoptable dogs and cats as possible. Young, old, big and small - some with training, many adorable and "perfect" - others a little rough around the edges. Some are outgoing and active, some quiet and shy; all deserve a loving home!
We care for more than 230 animals every day at our 283-acre sanctuary in Mendocino County. We give them space to run, and the time they need to get into the right homes. If that fails, they have the Sanctuary to call "HOME." Please help Milo continue to provide a sanctuary for those who need more time to find the right homes! Our sanctuary needs funding and support. It is what truly makes Milo unique.
PLEASE DONATE TODAY!

Jewels is a jewel of a cat! She has extra toes - "mittens" .... and Jewels is cuddly and sweet as can be! She has a great, striped plush coat and big round eyes. Easy going, fairly mellow and attentive kitty, she and many of her friends are wanting out of their cages!
