My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Miles is back and is more smiley than ever!
Mr. Smiley Miley has been in a very special board and train program for the past few months learning that new friends are not that scary. While Miles continues his training, we want to find him a family to continue his socialization and confidence building. Miles loves to connect with people but he is slow to trust. Once he knows you are safe, you`ll have a best friend for life!
This goofy dude loves hikes in the woods, agility, lounging in the yard, invading your personal space for cuddles and kisses, and loves a good soft squeaky toy.
Miles requires a very special home, a dog experienced family is a must as Miles` behavior needs will be ongoing. Miles will require a mature household, over 21+ years of age. He has potential with well socialized relaxed dogs. Miles is fully housebroken and crate trained.
Dogs with special behavior needs are work, they require unconditional love and patience. We know finding a home may be tough but we also know Miles` family is out there. If you or someone you know is dog savvy and want to make a HUGE difference in a dog`s life, send them over to chat with a CHS Staff Member to learn more about Miles!
Miles will remain in his board and train foster till his family is found, please submit an application to begin the process. We will require multiple meet and greets, a home visit training, and ongoing training with his board and train facility.

Notes from his Trainer!
`Here`s my input on Smiley Miles!
Miles will benefit greatly from a dog savvy owner that can provide him with structure and a good routine. He does great with light to moderate exercise to keep his brain and body in good shape. He has been living with other dogs with proper introductions and appropriate dog to dog boundaries. I highly encourage any new adopter to continue with training classes at no extra cost to them to ensure the smoothest transition.`

Please take a moment to review our Adoption Policy prior to applying to adopt a pet.

CHS accepts multiple applications on each animal, we are not first come first serve. Our team of adoption counselors will help matchmake every individual pet and family to ensure the best fit for all.

Must be 21 to adopt with a valid driver's license or state ID card.

We ask all members of the household to meet the new pet, some pets require multiple visits to build necessary relationships.

To align with our mission of solving the homeless pet crisis, all household pets must be spayed and neutered, up to date on necessary vaccinations, and live in the same household as the adopter. If not currently established with a veterinarian, a vet deposit will be required.

Cats and dogs adopted from CHS are indoor only.

Every pet is an individual, and many have individual needs such as : post adoption training (included with adoption), multiple meet and greets to feel comfortable, medical needs, etc. Our adoption counselors will communicate these needs with all interested families.

CHS will not begin adoption process with an individual when:

A person is reasonably believed to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Landlord or residence does not allow pets, or the living situation does not accommodate consistency for the pet (e.g. student housing, four unrelated adults living together, ect.)

Applications may be denied for any reason, including but not limited to an individual failing to comply with conditions of past adoption.
