Story
If you've ever wished for a tiny little prince to quietly follow you around the house, nap beside you on the couch, accept treats with royal manners, and generally make your life significantly cuter, then allow us to introduce you to Miles Prince.
This sweet little gentleman looks like he walked straight out of a storybook. Between the scruffy face, the soulful eyes, and the fact that he's currently in the middle of what can only be described as a glow-up worthy of its own reality TV show, Miles has a charm that's impossible to resist. His coat is still growing back in, and honestly? Watching his transformation unfold is part of the fun. Every week brings a little more fluff, a little more character, and somehow even more cuteness. While he may always have a few unique spots that don't fill in completely, we think it just adds to his one-of-a-kind charm. After all, every prince deserves a signature look.

Miles Prince is believed to be a Shih Tzu mix approximately 3 years old and currently weighs 13 lbs. He is a rescue dog and with any rescue, it's always a mystery and we cannot guarantee breed or age.
One of Miles' foster mom's favorite things about him is just how easy he is to live with. He's sweet, quiet, calm, and has the kind of gentle personality that makes him feel like he's always been part of the family. He isn't demanding, overly energetic, or constantly looking for entertainment. He's perfectly content hanging out with his people, lounging nearby, and soaking up affection whenever it's offered.
Miles is currently fostered with other dogs his size and does wonderfully with them. While he enjoys having canine companions around, he's not necessarily looking for a wrestling partner or full-time playmate. He's much more of a "let's peacefully coexist and enjoy each other's company" kind of guy. If another dog wants to hang out, great. If they're doing their own thing, that's great too. He may have a few moments here and there where he will get the urge to play and when he does he has a gentle and bouncy playstyle. For the most part, he’s just happy to be included and content just hanging out.
When it comes to training and house manners, Miles is proving himself to be quite the little gentleman. He's crate trained, although his foster rarely needs to use it because he's trustworthy when left out in the home. In fact, she often leaves the crate door open and he'll wander in on his own throughout the day when he decides it's time for a nap. He also knows how to use a doggy door and has generally excellent house manners. Like many rescue dogs adjusting to a new environment, he may have an occasional accident here and there, but his foster says he does very well overall. Miles enjoys treats and takes them with the gentlest mouth imaginable. He also likes toys, especially carrying them around the house like prized possessions. It's one of those adorable little habits that never gets old.
One thing potential adopters should know is that Miles will need routine eye drops for the rest of his life. The good news? He could not be easier about it. His foster says when it's time for his drops, he simply looks up at her and patiently waits while she administers them. No fuss. No drama. Just a distinguished little gentleman handling his business. He's equally cooperative during bath time, enjoys the warm water, loves being blow dried, and even sits nicely while his foster trims around his face. When it's time for a grooming appointment, Miles is likely to be the client every groomer wishes they had.
At the end of the day, the best way to describe Miles Prince is exactly what his name suggests. He's sweet, calm, gentle, scruffy, and full of quiet charm. He's the kind of dog that doesn't need to be the loudest or most outgoing to steal your heart. He does it simply by being himself. One cuddle, one gentle treat-taking moment, and one adorable scruffy glance at a time.
We are willing to test Miles Prince with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know.

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about creating lasting matches between dog and family for long term success, and take the time to ensure each adoption is a fit through our matchmaking process.
At our 2 acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready.

We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap—ranging from $100–$1,000+ per dog.
Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
