Story
Meet Jingles! Jingles has perfected the art of enjoying life's little luxuries. A good nap, a leisurely stroll, a car ride, a tasty snack, and supervising human bathroom breaks? His idea of a perfect day.
Jingles lost the only home he'd ever known when his beloved owner passed away. In the years leading up to that loss, his owner's declining health made it increasingly difficult to keep up with Jingles' care. By the time he came to Miri's Haven, he was underweight, struggling with chronic skin allergies and dry eyes, and in need of a fresh start. Today, thanks to the care he's received at Miri's Haven, his skin has healed, the itchiness is gone, he's gaining weight, and he's discovering just how good life can be.
Everyone says the same thing when they meet Jingles: "Look at those eyes." His big, soulful eyes have a way of winning people over instantly. Jingles is sweet, quiet, and wonderfully content just being near his people, not necessarily in your lap, but always close enough to keep you company. He walks beautifully on leash and is happiest wandering around the yard, riding shotgun in the car, going for stroller rides once his little legs get tired, or tagging along on adventures. He even checked into a hotel recently and immediately embarked on the sniffari to end all sniffaris, carefully investigating every square inch of the room before deciding the accommodations were acceptable. Once his inspection was complete, he settled in like the perfect little gentleman and happily greeted every visitor who stopped by.
Of course, Jingles isn't all distinguished gentleman. He firmly believes that no one should have to use the bathroom alone, so expect an adorable little escort every time you head that way. One of his favorite games is "get your feet," where he playfully nibbles at your toes, and according to Jingles, his tiger bed is quite possibly the greatest invention of all time. It's been incredible to watch his personality emerge now that he knows safety, comfort, and love are finally here to stay.
Jingles is looking for a calm home with at least one other friendly dog and a fenced yard where he can safely explore. He's low-energy, sleeps through the night, rides beautifully in the car, and is happy to relax while you're away. He wears a belly band because he occasionally has accidents indoors. To keep him feeling his best, he'll need lifelong eye drops, daily probiotic supplements to help keep his skin healthy, and a diet free of chicken and grains due to his allergies. He also has some vision loss and needs to be carried up stairs, but none of it stops him from enjoying life's simple pleasures.
More than anything, Jingles wants a family that appreciates the simple things right alongside him. Someone who will happily take him for a drive, let him tag along on quiet adventures, laugh when he insists on supervising bathroom breaks, and understand that the very best days usually end with a cozy nap. After 15 years, we think he's earned exactly that.
Jingles is approximately 15 years old and 9 lbs.
