MILES was saved from one of the shelters we work with in Texas. He is neutered, rabies, core vaccines, de-wormed, heart-worm and tick-disease tested; Negative and micro-chipped. He has an estimated date of birth of 7 August 2012, and he weighs around 5 pounds. He has been listed as a Poodle on the shelter paperwork, but the vet staff think he is more Yorkie/poodle mix. We have no way of knowing the true breed, it is up to you to decide what you think his breed/s is.
Miles is a sweet boy who wants to hang out with his humans be that going on a nice walk, snuggling on the chair or sofa or cuddling in bed. He is a quiet boy that is starting to come out of his shell, but the rescue is a little over-whelming for him with all of the hustle and bustle of dogs charging around having fun. He cried all the time whilst in the kennels so I brought him over to the house and he has been great, he will sit on a chair or the sofa when the other dogs are playing, or he will happily go outside to explore. He is good with other dogs there are just a few too many here for him to want to start playing with them, but he enjoys their company and will happily get a hoof and lie amongst them chewing on it.
Miles is going to need a family that is used to small dogs and their "neediness". Miles does need to go on walks and be able to explore the outside world, but he is a humans dog and would be happy to sit or lie with his humans wherever they are, or go on nice leisurely walks.
He would benefit from a family that understands the importance of basic and advanced training. We advise that families work on their own basic training so that boundaries and expectations can be set and personalities and body language learnt in the process, which will help form a much stronger bond.
Miles will make a great family addition to an experienced family. He is sweet and very loving and deserves a good family and home to call his own.
Miles is available for adoption from Give a Dog a Home, German Shepherd Dog Rescue for an adoption fee of $550.
This fee is not negotiable and is used to cover the rescue costs of pulling, vetting, health certificate, transport from Texas to Maine, monthly preventatives, supplements, food and anything else that is needed.

Miles is located at the rescue in Sebec, Maine. We post in various states along the east coast and Canada where we have had lots of successful adoptions to enable more exposure for these beautiful saved souls. Families will need to be prepared to travel to the rescue to meet and take home their new best friend. Sebec is located just outside the towns of Dover-Foxcroft and Milo (approx 8 miles) and approx 45 miles from Bangor. There are also lots of hotels, motels, pet friendly accommodations and wonderful camp-sites for the more adventurous families and what a great way to get to know your new best friend. If there are options to arrange transport, we will work with you to make it happen.
