SINGAPORE – Miles is a seven-year-old male Singapore Special looking for a forever home.

The handsome local breed was found abandoned in Lim Chu Kang with another dog. Miles remains cheerful and trusting despite his rough start, and is affectionate and loves to be around people.

The HDB-approved canine is a big foodie and will never say no to a tasty treat. He enjoys going for walks and, when he is excited, he shows off happy hops by jumping up.

Miles and Milan, another male Singapore Special, have been part of a pilot initiative between animal welfare group SOSD and online booking platform Klook called Singapore Special Walk.

Started in December 2025, the fund-raising programme offers dog lovers a chance to take Miles and Milan out for walks and have a picnic with them at a ticketed price of $10, with all proceeds going to the shelter.

The activity is fully booked, but more slots will be released later.

If you are keen to adopt Miles, Milan or any of their friends, contact SOSD at
