Description The mission of the Milo Foundation is to rescue adoptable dogs and cats from high-kill animal control shelters and adopt them to loving homes best suited to provide lifetime care. We rehabilitate dogs and cats, offer sanctuary to those that are not adoptable, and educate the public about responsible pet guardianship, including spay/neuter.

My cats were taken over there to be fostered because that's where we adopted them from and a worker who we thought was a friend said that they were going to be fostered and not adopted adopted them out without our permission or the knowledge of knowing they were going to be adopted so now were talking with lawyer. Don't trust them because you might be adopting someone's pet that your not supposed to.

If I could I would give them 0/5 stars. I went in the shelter and tried to adopt a kitten. A volunteer(white older lady) started talking to my brother and I after we proceeded to tell her we didn’t need help and were just looking. She sees us looking at the kitten and begins saying we can’t adopt her because she needs to be with her brother. She told us we didn’t know anything about cats after my brother had just done intensive research. She and other workers at the Milo Foundation made the process very discouraging and left the kittens with no home. The point of shelters is to have as many pets adopted but with their attitude and the process just makes it super sucky. I 100% enjoyed the workers and process at Jelly’s in San Pablo, where we adopted our kitten.

Tried to send an application after being recommended by a friend and never heard anything. Also tried to call them, but they didn’t seem to have any staff available to pick up. Their policies say to give them 1-2 days and to try not to reach out about the same animal multiple times, but I would have thought they’d give a courtesy email if my app was denied or not.

Very cramped area for so many people and animals. Went to look at cats with a friend and was crammed into the cat room with a worker who talked on and on. No space to think. Next, filled out an app, and was allowed to visit dogs on my own. What a difference it makes to not have a worker following me around talking and pushing phone pictures in my face. I chose to visit a puppy in outside cage and was once again escorted by a worker who talked on and on and showed me photos on her phone. The puppies were starved for attention and if nothing else would have appreciated a calm visit. Also, their adoption fees are way too high. These animals are either strays or from shelters. "Non-Profit" means no profit after all expenses are paid so their expenses must be mighty expensive! Oakland animal shelter has kitties for $20 plus $5 for the take home box.

Today my husband and I visited The Milo Foundation. From the start to finish everyone is super nice, friendly and helpful. We have been looking for a cat for our family and ended up leaving with Brutus within an hour. The adoption process was super easy. Brutus is the sweetest cat. He right away fit perfectly in our home. Cuddling up next to us and exploring. Definitely recommend to friends and family to get their forever pet at Milo Foundation. The foundation also let us borrow a cat carrier and bring it back because we didn’t own one.

We adopted these two little pups! It's got a community vibe and the people at Milo are super friendly and very helpful! It was a very easy process for us. Thank you Milo ❤️
