The Milo Sanctuary
The Milo Sanctuary rescues and provides space and care for over 200 animals. We rescue animals locally in Mendocino County as well as from Lake County with its serious pet overpopulation problem. The Sanctuary houses mostly dogs of all kinds, and cats who are mostly less socialized or prefer the company of cats over humans. Some of our dogs go there when they need time for rehabilitation and prefer a more spacious and relaxed environment and ideally the company of other dogs. We also have a few farm animals.
Many of our Sanctuary dogs are highly adoptable but thrive with the space the Sanctuary offers as opposed to a kennel at our Adoption Center. Milo Sanctuary is located on 330 acres east of Willits, offering lots of room for rescued animals to run and play. Adopters are invited to come by appointment with an accepted application. We encourage volunteerism and camping in the Spring and Summer months… a guest house is also becoming available!
Some Sanctuary animals are with us for long periods of time. Your financial support will help a Sanctuary animal thrive. Sponsor an animal, or if you can’t decide, support the Sanctuary.

Location of the Milo Sanctuary
The Sanctuary is located about three hours north of the Bay Area, east of Willits. The spring and fall are beautiful times of the year to visit – and help! Summers are typically hot, and there are vital projects that occur in these months. Please contact the Sanctuary for more information on how you can help.
The Milo Foundation welcomes visits from youth organizations. During the summer months, we invite Scouts, School groups, Rotary Clubs–any organization with kids and/or adults interested in animal welfare and helping homeless pets are welcome to make an appointment for a visit, to tour and to VOLUNTEER!
Families with kids over 14, or adult groups who help with a project during the day can ask to include a tour and a “Sundowner” trip up the hill or to the creek with some beverages and snacks, and of course some dogs!
This said, all visits to the Sanctuary are by APPOINTMENT ONLY. We are minimally staffed and have to make plans to accommodate all visitors and adopters.
