New Update for Miles - 02/03/19
Fast forward a few months from his last update: Miles' ear and allergy issues are resolved and he's finished heartworm treatment so is he is now heartworm negative. Yippee!
The foster dad reports that Miles is completely housebroken and is left free to roam inside during the day when the family is at work. He totally enjoys being brushed...in fact he loves just about any form of attention from humans.
Miles is a fairly calm dog who loves his daily walks and needs the exercise. He has learned to sit and wait for the command to release. What a smart boy! He gets along with the resident foster dog but doesn't much care for small, snarky dogs.
Miles is likely a Golden but has some Great Pyrenes in him so he's a light color. He doesn't care the water and swimming, which is likely the GP in him! Foster dad says he has the typical golden personality.
Update for Miles - 11/6/18
Personality: He is a sweet fellow, considering all he’s been through, and at this point he is pretty shy. His foster family says, “so far, so good” on the house training front. He is free to roam a limited set of rooms in his house. Miles plays well with other dogs and is nice and calm around children, but he’s had no cat exposure.
Miles pulls a little on the leash, undoubtedly excited to see the world beyond the length of a chain. He’s good in the car, but so far he does not seem interested in swimming. He shares his food well as his foster family helps him to gain some weight. Miles sleeps peacefully through the night and has learned the heaven on earth that is “the bed.”
He doesn’t seem too interested in toys. He probably hasn’t had much experience in that regard. He loves, loves, loves to be petted and brushed. He’s very much a people “Person” as he likes being touched and likes to lick the hand the pets him!
Miles is getting more social every day and has begun to be the one to initiate play time with his foster brother dog. When he’s happy he lays on his back with his feet kicking at the air.
Ideal Home: Miles’ forever family should be willing to take the time to continue his training.
