Miko's Rescue Mission, Inc.
On behalf of Crystal Cassese, Miko's Rescue Mission, Inc. founder.
Inspired by Miko the Pitbull, Founded in 2024
Hi, I’m Crystal! I’m Miko, Sancho, Baya, and Abby’s Mama! We
live in sunny Southern California, Simi Valley specifically!
I adopted sweet Miko in November 2022, and then my other 3
between March-June of 2024. Miko is my Soul Dog. I adore all four
of them with my whole heart, and together with your help, it is
our mission to SAVE MORE PITBULLS!
We strive to help as many pitbulls and bully breed dogs to live lives full of joy and love in their furever homes OR on our (future) animal sanctuary property in Val Verde, CA!
Our Mindset
We’re all about letting dogs be themselves! Providing opportunities for autonomy and choice in our dogs lives' is always the goal! We use LIMA-based methods for building a loving connection with each dog, without the use of aversive tools.
We use a combination of force-free, positive reinforcement, cooperative care, and the open-minded approach to guide our dogs through life!

We are a 501(c)3 tax-exempt non-profit organization. We are dedicated to serving the needs of pitbulls and bully breeds across Southern California!

How We Help Our Fosters & Adopters Succeed
