Milo Sanctuary: Events
There are many events at the sanctuary throughout the year. Our staff are usually extremely busy taking care of the animals that live at the sanctuary, so visits are by appointment only. However, there are lots of weekends that are open to the public for volunteer workcamps, open house weekends, our annual winter holiday open house, and special donor visits.
Once a month, Milo hosts volunteer workcamps, which involves improving the sanctuary infrastructure. Past projects include assembling insulated dog houses, cat house renovations, painting, jump proofing pens, building dog runs, and much, much more. Part of the weekend is also spent socializing the animals: playing with the cats, walking dogs, playing fetch with the dogs, and passing out treats and toys to the animals. Volunteers may camp on the grounds of the Milo Sanctuary or stay in a hotel in the nearby town of Willits (10 miles away). Volunteers must sign up in advance for these weekends, as limited space is available. Please see the events page for the schedule of volunteer workcamps.
