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, vaccinated, microchipped, and treated for any parasites. Dogs over 6 - 8 months of age are Heartworm tested.
The adoption fee for ADULT DOGS is $300. We reserve the right to have increased fees for “special,” highly desired, and breed specific animals, as well as for those that required extraordinary veterinary care. Our Medical Fund benefits from these extra fees, so we can provide the extra care some animals need! Senior, and some harder to place dogs, may have an adoption fee of $200. ***NEW: For dogs under 15 pounds, with some exceptions; Males are $150 and Females $200, if we have had them available for 2 weeks or longer. Chihuahuas are always this price!!
AND "Two-for" deals are happily considered for Chihuahuas and all small dogs. They LOVE a buddy!
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 $350. THERE ARE NO REFUNDS ON PUPPY ADOPTIONS! If you return a puppy for whatever reason, your adoption fee becomes a donation. PLEASE, think
hard about the commitment of raising a puppy! They are fragile and demanding. They need consistency, training, time, and patience. They want TLC, and need a firm commitment!
Please fill out the Canine Adoption Application, and email it in. 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!).
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.At Milo we try to help all kinds of pets needing rescue. We recognize that some of our animals are in high demand, and can quickly find a loving home. These animals have a higher adoption fee, because they can leave a financial legacy for the other animals in our care, that may need extensive medical treatment, or need more time to find a loving home. We support a population of over 200 animals at our sanctuary in Mendocino County. These are pets that need more time and special circumstances in order to be adopted, however, they still deserve a life! Many incoming animals, and those at our sanctuary, especially senior animals, benefit greatly from these extra donations. We want to always be able to rescue and treat animals in need, and variable fees allow us to do this. Any amounts over the base fee price can be given as tax-exempt additional donations. We appreciate you caring enough to support the Milo Foundation animals, and your willingness to give a deserving pet a loving home.
Cats and Kittens
FELINES: All cats and kittens are Leukemia and FIV tested, vaccinated, have been spayed/neutered, micro-chipped, and given parasite preventatives.
If you are able, please consider an additional donation! Any fees above the baseline are tax-deductible - and very much appreciated! KITTENS under 5 months: $150 for one/$250 for a pair, adoption fee. Kittens are usually adopted out in pairs, or to homes with a compatible feline in residence. Some exceptions made.
KITTENS and CATS 5 months and over: $100 for one/$150 for a pair. We really want bonded pairs to stay together! Senior cats, and those who have "been around the block" are $50-75. These fees do not cover Milo's vet costs, but we really want to get our kitties into homes soon!
ALL KITTENS MUST STAY INDOORS, until at least 10 months age, and only let out under safe circumstances, gradually, where they can be observed, and are away from busy streets. They should be given the outdoor vaccinations at a vet before going outside; Leukemia and Rabies.
Please fill out the Feline Adoption Application, and email it in. 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.
