Pet Of The Week

Miles Davis

Male - 1yr - 57lbs

Meet Miles! He loves people and is good with cats and kids. He likes to play rowdy with his dog pals when he's at the Best Friends Pet Resource Center but can be a real snuggly guy when out on foster stays. He would do well in a home with a buddy for him to play with and snuggle with.
