Miles - Alaskan Malamute and Pit Bull Terrier Dog for Adoption in Portland, Oregon

What my friends at OHS say about me:
I will follow you around for attention - spending time with my people is the best part of the day!
Stick a bandana on me and let's go do all the hikes!
Do you love bear hugs? Me too! I've been told that those aren't appropriate greetings, and I'm trying hard to learn that- could you help me?

In my last home, I did great in the crate!


Shy and Nervous: I can be worried about new people, new surroundings and touch. I prefer to take things at my own pace and will need to live in a calm environment.
High Energy: I can become easily frustrated if my physical and mental exercise needs are not met. I will need positive outlets and a calm environment to help me flourish.
I will need to meet any canine companions prior to getting adopted.
