Their Work
The Milo Foundation was named after founder Lynne Tingle’s beloved deaf and blind Australian Shepherd. Lynne’s experience with Milo led her to learn about other animals who deserved a chance at a good life – the abandoned and stray dogs and cats who fill city shelters – which led to the founding of the foundation in 1994.
The Milo Foundation is a no-kill organization committed to reducing the burden on kill shelters throughout our region and beyond. They accomplish this by accepting at-risk animals from overburdened shelters, rehabilitating those dogs and cats, and offering sanctuary to those that are not adoptable. They also educate the public about responsible pet guardianship, including spay/neuter. Since launching in 1994, they have saved the lives of over 36,000 animals.
The Milo Foundation is also committed to community education. They run a school engagement program and offer internships to youth who are interested in animal welfare through Contra Costa County. Additionally, they work with Richmond YouthWorks, providing a summer employment program to at-risk and in-risk youth.
SPCA International is proud to support The Milo Foundation as they continue to make great strides for abandoned and stray animals in western California and beyond.
