About Brooks and Miles

Meet Brooks and Miles: two resilient boys who have transformed from junkyard survivors into inseparable best friends. Miles, a 4-year-old Chihuahua/Dachshund mix, has a goofy smile that lights up any room. Though he can be shy at first, he blossoms into a fiercely loyal companion once he feels safe. His favorite toy? Plushies, especially his cherished giant rainbow one. After bravely completing heartworm treatment, he’s on the mend, regrowing fur on his back legs, and is ready to find his forever home. Brooks, at just 9 months old, embodies the joy of youth. This social butterfly befriends everyone, bringing laughter with his bouncy run and heartwarming cuddles when he’s ready to settle down. Together, they balance each other perfectly with Brooks' playful energy and Miles' devoted spirit. Daily games of chase are a must for these two best friends.
