I disclosed in my application that my dog was due to be fixed when he turned 12 months old but was not yet neutered. They accepted my application but then turned me away at the door saying they don't adopt out to families with any unneutered/unspayed animals. I don't agree with the policy, but I'm not mad about it. I am, however, super annoyed that they wasted my time.

Adopted a very sweet rescue dog from the Milo Foundation. The organization is extremely supportive and clearly want the best for people and critters alike; they made sure to outline everything we needed for success and kept their door open for questions and help. Thanks, Milo Foundation!

I have read excess complaints about the interview process and potential adopters being turned away. When you see that many complaints, may want to address the issue. I had no problems adopting my dog. It was from a Milo adoption fair. I have been to Milo for vaccines and noticed people in line to adopt and looking at a book for pet available. I am not familiar with the adoption process at their headquarters. I have seen complaints about the foundation. It’s not a zoo. They rescue animals. They house them as well as they can. They save animals. It’s not a hotel. The pets need to be adopted. YOU create a better home for them. Milo does well with medical services also. I dislike seeing people acting like a shelters conditions should always be ideal. The goal to save pets and find them long term homes, not house them forever. Do you part and support the foundation. Plenty of their animals could have been killed elsewhere. My dog is happy. I’m glad Milo RESCUED him. I had him checked out by 3 vets to make sure he’s healthy. I washed him. No need to criticize the adoption. Find a pet you like, hopefully you could adopt it and make the most of it. My dog was happier at Milo than abandoned. Makes sense.

We adopted a puppy from an adoption event in Albany via the Milo Foundation. My dog is in good health. Milo took care of him medically, which is what I was curious about. I want to save a dog who is in a shelter. Milo covers vaccines also at their facility. I DID not adopt my dog from their physical address. I have never been there. So far everything has been great.

Questions & Answers

Are all dogs spayed at milo foundation

NO! We looked at quite a few dogs there and most were not "fixed". Plus, the dog we were interested in had dental problems that were not addressed & they had no plans to do anything about it. Dogs are expensive to adopt at Milo so you'd expect that these medical conditions would be taken care of or planned for. Dental extractions & care is pricey! Like $2000. So make sure you can afford all of these needs.

Can you bring your animal here and surrender them?

Over the years I've had cats and dogs. We are moving and I have four medium-sized crates and two small crates that I'd like to donate. They are good, sturdy crates. Could the Milo Foundation use them?

I am not sure, but if you gave them a call I'm sure they'll appreciate the offer!

Hello good, I wanted to adopt a puppy and looking for shelters I found this foundation again I wanted to know what it costs to adopt a small puppy the last time I went, I do not remember if it was between $ 400 or $ 500, but I did not have that amount, it

In the street there are so many who would be very grateful

Do we have to make an appointment

If you want to go inside to see the adoptable animals I believe you do. My daughter recently adopted from them and she had to fill out a form online to get the appointment. If you are just going to donate something, then you don't. You can just knock and they will come out to recieve it. You still have to wear a mask, though.

I would like to see cats you might have available but can’t find a place to access them on your website. We are looking tor an adolescent or adult cat who would get along in a household with small children and a Golden Tetriever

If you go to milofoundation.org and click on Adopt a pet (listed down the left side of the page), it will open a search page where you can look for dogs/cats by size/age/breed. Hope this helps.

Do they have conures or love birds?

Matilde Zambrano | Aug 27, 2019
Monsieur Roberts | Aug 27, 2019

No, only cats, and dogs, also if lucky, kittens and puppies

Mark Mandzik | Aug 27, 2019
Diana Smith | Aug 27, 2019

They may take them or the will refer you to the county shelter in Pinole. It depends if they have room for them. Better to call first.

What does milo stand for?

THE MILO FOUNDATION was named after an Australian Shepherd. 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.

Excuse me, can I have a dog for a week; to decide if I would adopt it or not and follow the rules through this week and pay whatever you want??

Andrew Ehab | Aug 27, 2018

Just call Milo Foundation. I think you can "foster adopt".

Can a 13 year old volunteer? My daughter really loves animals and this is all she wants to do is help

If they have a parent or legal guardian with them, yes

how old do you have to be to volunteer?

Lensaa Temesgen | Aug 27, 2018
Paula Mertens | Aug 27, 2018

A child can volunteer accompanied by an adult. To volunteer alone you must be 14. Also. you must have filled out an application and attended an orientation.
