wants vto be by your side for all those miles!

MILES NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!!

Name: Miles       Best Guess for Breed:  Husky mix

 

Best Guess for Age:  1 year as of February 2024     SEX:   Male

 

Approximate Weight:   40 lbs

 

Gets Along With: Miles does well with other dogs! We haven't seen him with kids but he can be tested. Due to his breed, he is not recommended for a home with cats. 

 

Currently Living at:  Scheduled to arrive in the DC area on Saturday March 2

 

Special adoption considerations: Miles is a truly Lucky Dog. Although he has tested positive for heartworms, treatment has been scheduled! Heartworm is not contagious to people or other pets, but results from mosquito bites. Heartworm, if left untreated, is life threatening, but after treatment, dogs that were heartworm positive should suffer no significant long-term effects so long as they are kept on a monthly heartworm preventative. Heartworm dogs can resume full active and normal lives, but need to be kept calm for 4-6 weeks after treatment.  We are happy to talk more in depth about heartworm disease and treatment during the screening process. 

 

Miles is Looking For:  Miles is a pretty awesome representative of his breed (if you know, you know!). This is what the shelter says about him:
'Miles is affectionate, playful, intelligent ...and we don't even need to say - handsome! That is so obvious. He has a fairly good recall - for a young husky. When Miles wants something - he is vocal. (His sounds make you feel like you are in the Call of the Wild story / movie.) Miles has played well with both male and female dogs. For the few times that Miles has been on a leash, he walked fine. He also does fine in cars.'

 

The most important thing you need to know is that adopting Miles for his looks alone is a bad idea. Huskies are smart and need plenty of mental and physical enrichment - they were bred for all-day activity! If you don't provide them with that enrichment, they WILL make their own in the home and you'll be doing repairs or replacing items. But if you get their needs and meet them, oh, they are just awesome, amazing dogs full of personality. 

 

Miles is gonna be such a fun companion. He's offering lots of laughs and opportunities for you to stay active in exchange for a home with central air conditioning and humans who appreciate his smarts and keep him challenged. What do you say? Is he the boy you want by your side for all those miles you have to cover before you sleep?
