Name: JASPAR	More Photos
Breed: Australian Cattle Dog Gender: Male Age: 6 yrs. 2 mo.  Birthday: 4/2003 (est) Weight: Medium (30 - 60 pounds) Milo ID: 7624 Current Location: The Milo Sanctuary
JASPAR has healed up from an attack by wildlife at the sanctuary, and a bad injury to one of his legs-he is fine now. He is smart, attentive, loyal, and active boy! He would do best with cattle dog savvy people, activity, and a lap if he can get one!!! Jaspar came to us from Eureka via Fort Bragg - he had been left with his buddy "Sarge" at a home in Eureka when their people moved out. Both are intelligent and affectionate dogs - Jaspar is the more typical cattle dog, demanding and persistent, responsive and reactive - smart and agile - top dog kind of guy. Jaspar can be mouthy and jumpy, so he would do best in a home with older kids, or just adults. Due to his prey instincts, he would be best without cats, or other small animals. He does seem to do well with most other dogs, but can be dominant. Jaspar easily backs off when reminded of his place by another dog or person. He will flourish under training and persistence and be an excellent jogging partner, hiking buddy, or beach companion.

Name: LOUIE	More Photos
Breed: Australian Shepherd Mix Gender: Male Age: 6 yrs. 5 mo.  Birthday: 1/2003 (est) Weight: Medium (30 - 60 pounds) This dog has special needs. Milo ID: 6670 Current Location: The Milo Sanctuary
UPDATE: Louie will remain a sanctuary dog for now, but he could have a particular kind of home and we are looking for sponsorship for all of our sanctuary animals who, for one reason or another, can not be adopted. Louie is an active, sweet boy. He has bitten while being groomed. He's great with other active, fun-loving dogs. He does seem to want to chase cats, but will stop when told to leave it. He walks well on a leash and knows how to sit and stay. He likes to play in the water, so would probably enjoy a trip to the beach occasionally. He's housebroken and crate trained. He needs activity and craves affection. Louie was in a home for a couple years - then proved to be too much with the young children involved - though we can handle and rough him up and grab and play with him and he never shows any aggression what-so-ever! We think Louie would do best in a home with another dog that he could romp with. Louie would probably be a good agility or possible Flyball candidate. He used to enjoy sleeping on the bed at night, but would be almost as happy sleeping on his own bed or in a crate. Now that he has been returned and is living at the Milo sanctuary, he WOULD LOVE another chance at a proper home! Notes from his previous home: "Louie is a smart, gregarious, enthusiastic, demonstrative, super-affectionate, charming, handsome hunk of an Aussie. He jumps and balances easily, and scales steep inclines with ease, making him a good candidate for agility training. He has extremely acute sense of hearing and smell. Louie is easy-going and playful with dogs, antagonistic towards cats, and loves tracking squirrels. Horses do not spook him, nor is he overly interested in them. He has an excellent recall and reliably heels, sits, stays, places, and downs. He is really smart and learns quickly. He is a delightful running partner. Louie loves putting his nose into laps, and shows affection as readily as he seeks it. Louie is an intense dog seeking a dog-savvy intense human (or two) who will provide clear and consistent structure to help Louie overcome his moderate "conflict aggression," a mixture of anxiety-induced aggression and dominance aggression. This means he will bite if you snatch away a rawhide bone or if you poke around at his teeth. He needs to be muzzled for certain kinds of exams. Because of this, Louie isn't an appropriate member of a family with children, which is why his current family has been forced to give him up to a more suitable home. Louie's ideal home would be with one or two adults who have had extensive experience training dogs and are comfortable around a dog with aggression issues, in a house with a very big fenced yard with trees, perhaps out in the country. In the past, he's enjoyed being in a household with another dog. Louie is a special needs Aussie with special talents and a huge capacity for affection. We get MANY inquiries about about Louie, but nothing pans out. Please only inquire if you have read this entire bio, and can handle Louie's special needs! Thank you!

Name: Pebbles	More Photos
Breed: Dalmatian Mix Gender: Male Age: 9 yrs. 3 mo.  Birthday: 3/2000 (est) Weight: Medium (30 - 60 pounds) Milo ID: 3109 Current Location: The Milo Sanctuary
At the Milo sanctuary. Pebbles is a large Dalmation mix who is anxious to please. Pebbles is a good boy! Eager, affectionate and willing! Pebbles loves kids and people of all kinds, he is active and exuberant. He doesn't have a lot of formal training but is responsive and tries hard to please! Happy is a word that describes him - especially if he is with someone who adores him! Pebbles gets along well with most all other dogs, but can be a bit posessive of his food around other dogs, but not too bad-he just has a hearty appetite!. He loves people and desperately wants to belong to someone. He has spent five years (!!) up at the Milo sanctuary!

Name: ANTHONY	More Photos
Breed: Labrador Retriever - Golden Retriever Mix Gender: Male Age: 10 yrs. 6 mo.  Birthday: 1/1999 (est) Weight: Large (60 - 90 pounds) Milo ID: 199 Current Location: The Milo Sanctuary
"Are you looking at me? It makes me a little uncomfortable because I'm shy and I don't trust people unless I know them real well.... I've lived here since I was 6 months old and Kira's my girlfriend. We live in the valley and I love to hide in my house when I hear people coming. Then I peak out and, if it is someone I know, I run up to the gate and deliver one of my famous smiles. I love to dance and splash in the water and I love female dogs, males I don't care for. I can jump and play rough too, so small kids beware, but I'm a big, goofy dog with a heart of gold. Come see me and take me for a walk... one of the caretakers will have to put me on lead, but, once I'm out of my pen, we'll have a great time. Thank you for being patient with me, I really appreciate your love and concern. Once I make a friend it is for ever! Anthony loves to go for walks. He does well on the leash; he pulls a bit to start, but will stop with a little instruction. Anthony loves to give kisses and hugs. He is a large guy and a jumper so he would do best in a home with kids over 6. He loves to dance and splash in his water dish. He is probably quite a swimmer. Anthony does not do well with other male dogs, but does like some females. He can be protective of his home with new dogs. Anthony is a big love and taking time to earn his trust is definitely worth the effort.

Name: BON JOVI	photo coming soon
Breed: Cocker - English Gender: Male Age: 2 yrs. 3 mo.  Birthday: 3/2007 (est) Weight: Small (less than 30 pounds) Milo ID: 12755 Current Location: The Milo Sanctuary
A beautiful Cocker Spaniel - however he is a sanctuary resident due to his unpredictable bite history. At the sanctuary he is a happy boy - running about, chasing swallows, playing fetch, helping in the office . . . Bon Jovi is a dog looking for sponsorship! He could go to a home with a person who wants a great and adorable companion who lives in a quite, rural spot without a lot of people coming and going - as Bon Jovi is beguiling and 99% of the time warm and loving - but he gives little warning when a stranger is not to his liking! With proper circumstances and guidelines he could have a home - in the meantime he has one with Milo.
