About Miles

Adoption Fee: $50
Australian Shepherd / German Shepherd
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Male

This is miles. He is about 4 1/2 yrs old, a shepherd mix, neutered, and had all his initial first yr vaccine's but not recent boosters. Miles is a wonderful boy. He matches energy, will lay around all day with you or run like a unicorn and prance outside-literally with his long legs. He's fully house trained, he will wait patiently till you're home and gently scratch the door to go out when you're nearby to hear. He will wait nicely as you pour his food, and he is so intelligent. Truly could teach this boy so many things if you have time. He's been around 2 cats his whole life and gentle with them. He's also been around kids-however I am not comfortable with small children because he is food aggressive. Extremely. Which is why I put not good with dogs. He wasn't always that way but I went through a bad time and ever since he is like that. I think with a good strong owner and time he could be fine. He doesn't chew, doesn't get into things, doesn't jump, doesn't jump on furniture unless invited. He will happily lay at your feet as long as something of his is touching your feet. So he knows you're close. For two years I have held onto hope that my ex would take him because I truly think that's where he should be. He said he was going to. But I can't wait anymore. I don't have the resources or time or ability to care for him like he should be and I want him to enjoy his life because he is too good of a boy to not. He's alone most of the time when he wants to be a shadow and it's really sad. So I'm biting the bullet and posting this. My ideal home for miles would be a single person who wants a loyal ultimate friend and companion. Or someone/couple with either older kids or no kids. If you have other dogs you need to have experience with large breeds and/or knowledge with temperament issues. Miles food aggression is the only issue I've ever noticed and it only started when my situation changed but it was bad till I removed any 'threat' or him away when any food is present. He doesn't bother the cats when they eat but if he has food and they go near him he will react. But listens and leaves them alone when they are eating. So it's not all bad. Again he is a beautiful, smart, loyal, protective, funny, sweet, loving boy-who I swear really listens when you talk to him and he deserves the best home that has time to allow him to be a part of the family.
