Mila is Your Rancho Coastal Humane Society Pet This Week

She's in foster care.

Mila is a 5-1/2-year-old, 37-pound, female, Terrier mix.

Her mom was a stray in Mississippi. She was taken to a sanctuary where she had six puppies. They were all transferred to Rancho Coastal Humane Society through Friends of County Animal Shelters (FOCAS.)

Mila was adopted, then returned after almost four years. She’s currently in foster care with a trained volunteer.

She needs a home where someone is with her most of the time. She doesn’t like being left alone. She also might like living with another dog.

The $145 adoption fee for Mila includes medical exam, spay, up to date vaccinations, registered microchip, and a one-year license if her new home is in the jurisdiction of San Diego Humane Society.
