We all know how we get that awww feeling when we see an adorable young dog. They're new and fresh with every possibility open to them. That's the case unless they're in a high-kill shelter that quickly runs out of space. We're so grateful for the efforts of our New Mexico rescuer in saving Miles...she could see that he was a kind being that had been terribly mistreated and in so much pain.

　　Miles was found as a stray on the streets of an impoverished area of new Mexico. As a Pug (with perhaps a bit of something else in the mix), Miles was a desirable dog to breed for puppies that they can sell or exchange for food. Often when it's time for these small-scale breeders to move on, they dump their dogs. Miles may very well have been a victim of this behavior.

　　When dogs are found on the streets by animal control officers (depending on the morality of the officer) they can be treated very aggressively..often with a catch pole. Sadly, Miles was found by an officer at the end of the day..and clearly at the end of the officer's ability to control himself. Miles was thrown against the side of the truck in a vicious way, resulting in a very painful broken leg. Miles was brought to the shelter, processed and put into a cage with no regard for his pitiful cries of pain.

　　It was several days later that Farfel's Rescue was made aware of the plight of this poor Pug. Arrangements were immediately made to overnight pain meds from Boulder to the shelter and to set up an appointment at the local NM vet for xrays and a setting of the leg. We're very grateful for the help of our rescuer in getting Miles the attention that he desperately deserves.

　　Miles is a beautiful Pugx (with a very sweet soul) that finally deserves the love and compassion that has been lacking in his short life. At 12 - 18 months old and just about 18 lbs, Miles has all the potential to be a loyal and loving best friend.

　　Farfel's is seeking a very nurturing and Pug-loving family to welcome Miles into their home and hearts. They will love and understand dogs well enough to offer Miles the time to heal (both physically and emotionally). Through this healing (and bonding) period, Miles will come to understand that he's a very lovable and respected guy with so much to offer a family (or individual).

　　Miles will learn to trust and to understand that he has entered into a new period of his life...one of care and respect. Because he's a dog that desperately wants to trust and bond with a family, he will respond with loving loyalty to his treasured people.

　　We're hoping to find a family for Miles that is searching for a full-time best friend. Together they will grow to be each other's trusted companion. Miles would be overjoyed with hiking along Colorado paths and enjoying the sunshine with his people. At day's end, Miles is the guy that will cuddle on your lap or close on the couch/bed to show his loyalty and devotion. We'd like a family who spends lots of time at home and chooses to include an awesome fuzzy companion in their activities. Miles can be taught that the car is a fun place that leads to great adventures out in the community and can therefore accompany his family just about anywhere a well-behaved dog is welcome. Miles will be a gift to anyone who is seeking a really cute fuzzy guy as a best friend and family member.

　　Miles is a very happy guy once he's comfortable in his surroundings...a bit of patience, treats and belly rubs will truly get this guy's attention. Miles foster mom is very happy to report that Miles is coming out of his shell more each day...he's starting to blossom. She's very clear that Miles will be a wonderful and bonded family member when he has love and nurturing as a part of his life.

　　Positive reinforcement group training classes are a gift to a dog as well as their family. It's a true bonding experience that results in a respectful relationship where the dog views their human as their leader. Miles will learn his commands and behaviors that are necessary for a dog to be welcome out in the world. Farfel's is happy to provide a list of positive reinforcement (force free) trainers in your area.

　　Miles has the stunning beige coat (that you just want to pet all the time) that's consistent with his breed. He will require a commitment to periodic sudsy baths and brushing combined with great nutrition (a daily salmon oil supplement is so important for lifelong health and coat care) to keep Miles coat healthy and silky-soft.

　　Miles won't be neutered when he arrives in Denver - while we request it, there just aren't enough vets to cover the needs of the vast number of homeless dogs in this industrial area of New Mexico. Farfel's is happy to cover all costs for Miles neuter and microchip after his arrival in Denver if our local vet is used.

　　Miles is arriving on transport in Denver on Saturday 4/28/18. Applications are currently being accepted for our sweet pup. If interested in this adorable ...and very cuddly and loving best friend, please fill out an application at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/ and submit.

　　PLEASE NOTE: If you're truly interested in adopting Miles, please be sure to submit our adoption application. It's the only initial tool that we have to determine a great match for this very deserving dog. We're sorry, but in most circumstances, we're unable to get back to those that don't submit an adoption application. Thanks so much for choosing rescue.
