About Myles

Myles and his brother Max were found with their mom Athena on a gravel road, likely left behind. Myles comes across as a bit more reserved than his brother but quickly warms up; he’s friendly and affectionate once he gets comfortable. He loves to play and has the boundless puppy energy you would expect at his age. Myles is a guessed Labrador mix with short, black and white fur that looks great and is easy to care for. At around 4–5 months old, he’s still figuring out house training, but his smart, eager personality makes him a fast learner. Myles does well with other dogs and is gentle with children, so he’d be a strong fit for a family looking to add a young, social pup to the mix. Every adoption from Green Hills Animal Shelter includes spay/neuter, age-appropriate vaccines, deworming, and a heartworm test if old enough. Plus, Myles will go home with a starter bag of Hills Science Diet puppy food. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
