Milo was five weeks old when Lynne Tingle discovered that her puppy was both deaf and blind. Despite concerns from friends and family, Lynne was determined to give Milo a good life.<\/p>\n

It was a learning process for both Milo and Lynne, his “seeing-eye person.” Lynne developed a series of taps to communicate with Milo. A tap on the left or right flank would instruct Milo which direction to go, and a tap on the rear meant “stop.” In the park, Milo’s feet read the ground like braille, where he bounded around in circles with his nose in the air, barking with joy.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1590001464927{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Given a chance to live, Milo became a cherished, much-loved dog. The experience with Milo led Lynne to learn about other animals who needed a chance–abandoned and stray dogs and cats who fill city shelters–which led to the founding of the The Milo Foundation, in August of 1994.<\/p>\n

After a full and happy life, Milo passed away in August of 1998. He was the perfect spirit and namesake for a sanctuary dedicated to saving the lives of creatures who deserved, like Milo, a chance at a good life.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1590620035805{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 32px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 32px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1590001458809{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Today, The Milo Foundation is an established 501(c)(3) non-profit, no-kill organization providing an alternative for homeless pets throughout California, and occasionally beyond. In addition to community education, volunteer opportunities, and adoption services, Milo provides sanctuary for animals needing more time and space to have a quality of life until the special homes they need can be found.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”191″ img_size=”full” el_class=”box_shadow”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1590001412885{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Since December 2013, The Milo Foundation has had it’s main office and primary adoption center located in Point Richmond, California. Milo Point Richmond, also known as MPR, has opened up new opportunities for The Milo Foundation, with a terrific space that includes rooms for cats, three dog yards and a 3\/4-acre dog park. Milo is saving and adopting out an average of 1,400 animals each year.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row fullwidth=”true” fullwidth_content=”false” css=”.vc_custom_1590019215979{padding-top: 16px !important;padding-bottom: 16px !important;background-color: #f47b2a !important;}” el_class=”donate_bar”][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”53″ img_size=”100×83″ alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1588961569529{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][mk_fancy_title color=”#ffffff” size=”26″ font_weight=”bold” letter_spacing=”-.5″ margin_top=”24″ margin_bottom=”0″ font_family=”none” align=”center” el_class=”white”]Help save the life of a homeless pet!<\/a>[\/mk_fancy_title][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″ css=”.vc_custom_1590611911786{padding-top: 1px !important;}”][mk_button dimension=”flat” size=”large” url=”https:\/\/www.milofoundation.org\/donate\/” align=”center” margin_top=”15″ margin_bottom=”0″ margin_right=”0″ bg_color=”#0d6703″ btn_hover_bg=”#afbc26″ btn_hover_txt_color=”#ffffff”]Donate Today >[\/mk_button][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
