Meet Miles- Your Personal shadow, Snuggle King, and Couch Hippo Extraordinaire!

Looking for a best friend who’s equal parts lovebug, goofball, and parkour pro? Meet Miles- a wiggly, heart-on-his-sleeve sweetheart with the soul of a crooner and the snuggles of a weighted blanket.

This velvety couch hippo lives for one thing: being with YOU. If he could crawl inside your skin just to be closer, he probably would. He’ll melt into your side, steal your spot on the couch, and serenade you with his incredible singing voice (he’s got some pipes, folks!)

Miles is as smart as he is snuggly, he knows sit and shake (“paw”), and he’s got mad parkour skills (we’re talking fence jumping level talents, so a secure fence is a must if he is left outside unsupervised - if you're out there with him, he's not going anywhere else).

His appetite is bigger than his giant heart, so he’s currently being fed limited portions 3 times a day, from an elevated slow feeder, to keep him healthy and happy.

He's estimated to be between 3-5 years old and enjoys playing and wrestling with his shelter dog friends (the ones that enjoy Miles' enthusiastic play style). He's housetrained and weighs roughly 65 pounds, and appears to be an American Bulldog mix (but if you do a DNA test, let us know the truth!).

Whether you’re looking for a couch buddy, a hiking sidekick, or a personal stand up comedian, Miles is your guy. He’s loyal, hilarious, and ready to give his whole heart to his forever family.

All pets arrive spayed/neutered, dewormed, microchipped and vaccinated. Adoption fee for Miles is a suggested minimum of $150 (more gratefully accepted). All pets are placed with a 30-day money-back trial period, to give pet and family enough time to discover any unknown allergies or other conflicts.

Can't come to Republic? Don't let that stop you! We have monthly transports to the Seattle area, delivering adopted pets to their new owners. If you can add a little to your donation to help us cover our volunteer driver's expenses, that would be great!
