About Miles

Miles is a funny and resilient dog who's pushed through a tough start. He came into rescue underweight and with a neck injury, but his sweet nature never faded for a second. He’s a mixed breed—Plott Hound and Pit Bull Terrier—with short brindle and white fur. At about two years old and around 54 pounds, Miles is friendly with people and gets along well with other dogs. He’s a super social type, craving company, which means he has a habit of scaling fences just to be closer to people. Even then, he sticks around the property, so life on more land would suit him well. Miles is mostly housetrained, only having an accident if left inside for too long. He will happily chase after balls, and he gets a huge kick out of toys. He’s neutered, current on all vaccines and preventative care, and comes with his complete medical file for peace of mind.
