Myles

My story

Meet Myles – The Retired Professor of Chihuahua Studies If you’ve ever wished for a dog that looks like he’s been through at least three world wars, has a resting “back in my day” face, and could double as a grumpy-but-sweet cartoon character, congratulations—you’ve just found your match. Meet *Myles*, a 14-year-old crusty chihuahua who will make you smile without even trying. Myles isn’t here to run marathons, learn TikTok dances, or help you “find yourself” on a hiking trail. Nope. He’s here to be exactly what he is: a charmingly decrepit old man who likes his meals on time, his naps uninterrupted, and his head scratched *just so*. He’ll bark when you’re preparing dinner (his version of Uber Eats tracking your order), wander around the house like he’s looking for the TV remote, and cough occasionally like your great-uncle who refuses to give up cigars—the result of trachea damage, but rest assured, he’s managing just fine. Let’s be real: Myles is not housebroken. He tries, sometimes. But mostly, he’s a “when you gotta go, you gotta go” kind of guy. He doesn’t like crates (and really, at 14, who wants to live in a cage?), but he’ll happily snooze on a dog bed… with a bonus surprise waiting for you in the morning. He’s not a velcro dog, but he is sweet, chill, and occasionally accepts pets and head scratches like a king granting an audience. He’s hard of hearing, has cataracts, and creaks like an old rocking chair—but that just makes him all the more endearing. Myles is looking for a quiet, understanding home with someone who can appreciate the humor and heart of living with a senior chihuahua who’s basically the canine equivalent of that old man who falls asleep in his recliner with the TV on. If you’re ready to give this little legend the retirement he deserves (and can laugh at the occasional accident), Myles will reward you with daily doses of pure, senior joy.
