The Milo Foundation rescues hundreds of highly adoptable animals
that would otherwise be euthanised at Animal Control shelters.
Many of our homeless pets come from the Mendocino County Animal Shelter in Ukiah
and other high-kill Northern California Animal Shelters. Animals also come from shelters
like Berkeley Animal Services, commended for their efforts on behalf of the animals in their
shelters... as well as from some people who are no longer able to keep their pets.
If you are interested in adopting an animal from Milo, please download and complete the appropriate Adoption Application:
» Dog/Puppy Adoption Application (word)
» Cat/Kitten Adoption Application (word)
Return your application by email to  and we will keep it on file.
Due to the high volume of applications, we cannot provide individual feedback about your submission by email.
To meet the animals, please attend one of the mobile adoption events where they will be featured or a Milo representative will contact approved applicants to arrange an introduction with the foster home. Also bring the completed hard-copy of
your application with you when you come to meet the animals.
If an animal you saw featured on the web site is not at the mobile event, rest assured that we will have other great
dogs and cats waiting to meet you and ready for good homes!
Please note: submission of an application for a particular pet does not guarantee adoption of that animal to you.
Dogs and Puppies
DOGS: All dogs at The Milo Foundation receive any necessary
veterinary care, are spayed/neutered and vaccinated, microchipped, and given monthly
Heartworm preventative. Dogs over 6 or 8 months of age are Heartworm
tested.
For DOGS the adoption fee is $250 - $300. For some, we ask for additional funds, in the form of a tax-deductible donation. Females cost us more to spay and we ask those that can afford it to please help with an additional donation ($25 - $100 suggested). Senior and some harder to place dogs have an adoption fee of $200.
These fees help us recover some of our veterinary expenses, so that we have the resources to help other animals. Often we have additional costs with sick or injured animals . If you are able to, please consider an additional tax-deductible donation. We support a population of more than 250 animals at our sanctuary, so any extra funds help support these animals. PUPPIES: All puppies at The Milo Foundation receive puppy vaccinations and de-worming. They are also microchipped and spay/neutered. Depending on how long Milo has had the puppy and its age, it will likely require additional vaccinations.
The adoption fee for a puppy is $300.
Additional vaccinations and veterinary care are the responsibility of the adopter.
No puppy should be exposed to public dog parks, or unvaccinated dogs,
until the full series of vaccinations has been given.
However, we do encourage early training and socialization of puppies.
Please fill out the Canine Adoption Application, and email it
in, but also make a print out to bring with you when you come to meet
the dog or puppy of interest. INCLUDE THE NAME AND ID NUMBER
OF THE PET OF INTEREST. Follow up with an email and be patient! Thanks.
NO puppy should be exposed to public dog parks, or areas frequented
by dogs, nor should they be exposed to unvaccinated dogs, until the
full series of vaccinations has been given. However, we do encourage
early training and ongoing socialization of the pups. Visits with known
dogs, trips to friends' homes and such, as well as:
Enroll in puppy training classes as soon as possible (strongly suggested!).
Cats and Kittens
FELINES: All cats and kittens are Leukemia and FIV tested, vaccinated, have been spayed/neutered, micro-chipped, and given parasite preventatives.
Adult cats, 10 months and over, require a $125 adoption fee. For females we suggest an additional donation of $25-50, from those who can afford it, to help us with the additional costs we incur. If you are able, please consider an additional donation! Any
fees above the baseline are tax-deductible - and very much appreciated!
KITTENS: $150 for a single kitten. $250 for a pair of kittens.
ALL KITTENS MUST STAY INDOORS, until at least 10 months age, and only let out under safe circumstances, where they can be observed and are away from busy streets. They should be given the outdoor vaccinations at a vet before; Leukemia and Rabies.
Please fill out the Feline Adoption Application, and email it in, but also make a print out to bring with you when you come to meet the kitten or cat of interest. Adopters must be 21 years of age or older, and renters must be able to provide proof of landlord permission to keep the pet applied for in the residence.
