My story

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

We have had Mylee since she was a puppy. She was born February 2008. So yes she’s 16. Our only reason to find her a new home is we have our 3 year old daughter and she wants to play with Mylee but Mylee is not interested. Because of her age she does have some senior issues. She is almost completely deaf. She does respond when I snap my fingers or whistle loudly but it doesn’t affect her. She is house trained but sometimes she has an accident because she can’t make it to the door in time. We do put a diaper on her at night. She has been an inside dog all her life but she also enjoys being outside. For her age she is still pretty active. The last vet visit they said she has some arthritis in her rear hips but it doesn’t affect her and she seems to be in no pain.She will lay in your lap for hours, loves to sleep in the bed with you. Or she is happy sleeping in her bed or the pile of laundry on the floor. We think a new home with no kids and maybe some other older dogs will suite her.
