About Miles

We all know how we get that awww feeling when we see an adorable young dog. They're new and fresh with every possibility open to them. That's the case unless they're in a high-kill shelter that quickly runs out of space. We're so grateful for the efforts of our New Mexico rescuer in saving Miles...she could see that he was a kind being that had been terribly mistreated and in so much pain. Miles was found as a stray on the streets of an impoverished area of new Mexico. As a Pug/Beagle mix (Puggle) Miles was a desirable dog to breed for puppies that they can sell or exchange for food. Often when it's time for these small-scale breeders to move on, they dump their dogs. Miles may very well have been a victim of this behavior. When dogs are found on the streets by animal control officers (depending on the morality of the officer) they can be treated very aggressively..often with a catch pole. Sadly, Miles was found by an officer at the end of the day..and clearly at the end of the officer's ability to control himself. Miles was thrown against the side of the truck, resulting in a very painful crushed pelvis & femur head. Miles was then brought to the shelter and due to a complete lack of budget, was forced to endure his pain until he received surgery in Denver. UPDATE: Miles has had a very successful surgery and is completing his rehab period. Now out of pain, Miles is a very happy guy who is blossoming and becoming more active every day. He has so much love to give and has a very close and loving relationship with his foster. Miles is a beautiful Puggle (with a very sweet soul) that finally deserves the love and compassion that has been lacking in his short life. At 12 - 18 months old and just about 18 lbs, Miles will heal from his surgery and be an excellent choice for a family that desires a loyal and loving best friend. Farfel's is seeking a very nurturing and Pug-loving family to welcome Miles into their home and hearts. They will love and understand dogs well enough to offer Miles the time and space to heal (both physically and emotionally). Through this healing (and bonding) period, Miles will come to understand that he's a very lovable and respected guy with so much to offer a family (or individual). Miles will learn to trust and to understand that he has entered into a new period of his life...one of care and respect. Because he's a dog that desperately wants to trust and bond with a family, he will respond with loving loyalty to his treasured people. We're hoping to find a family for Miles that is searching for a full-time best friend. Together they will grow to be each other's trusted companion. Miles would be overjoyed with hiking along Colorado paths. At day's end, Miles is the guy that will cuddle on your lap or close on the couch/bed to show his loyalty and devotion. We'd like a family who spends lots of time at home and chooses to include an awesome fuzzy companion in their activities. Miles can be taught that the car is a fun place that leads to great adventures out in the community and can therefore accompany his family just about anywhere a well-behaved dog is welcome. Miles will be a gift to anyone who is seeking a really cute fuzzy guy as a best friend and family member. Positive reinforcement group training classes are a gift to a dog as well as their family. It's a true bonding experience that results in a respectful relationship where the dog views their human as their leader. Miles will learn his commands and behaviors that are necessary for a dog to be welcome out in the world. Farfel's is happy to provide a list of positive reinforcement (force free) trainers in your area. Miles has the stunning beige coat (so soft that you just want to pet him all the time) that's consistent with his breeds. He will require a commitment to periodic sudsy baths and brushing combined with great nutrition (a daily salmon oil supplement is so important for lifelong health and coat care) to keep Miles coat healthy and silky-soft. Miles won't be neutered when he arrives in Denver - while we request it, there just aren't enough vets to cover the needs of the vast number of homeless dogs in this industrial area of New Mexico. Farfel's is happy to cover all costs for Miles neuter and microchip after his arrival in Denver if our local vet is used. Miles is in a foster home in the Denver area.
