Vet Info: Shiloh is confirmed spayed.  She is next due for her rabies vaccine on 4/18/14, and she received her distemper, parvo, and bordetella vaccines on 8/27/13.  Shiloh has not had a recent heartworm test. She weighs about 50 pounds.                   

Owner Info: DOB 9/2008. Shiloh is a beautiful girl who was shot in the face and left blind.  She was rescued by her current owner who is unable to keep her due to her other dogs, her work schedule (she works long hours), and finances, and so she is looking for rescue or adoption for sweet Shiloh!   Her owner writes, "All of this is very unfair to her! I really want to see her in a good forever home." Shiloh is an indoor dog confined to one area of the house, she is housebroken and leash trained.  Shiloh is a smart girl and knows many commands, including sit, down, leave it, step, easy, wait, stay, and kennel up.  She adapts well to new situations, and her owner says that she's very intelligent!   Previously, she was a hog hunting dog.  Shiloh is good with men, women, and teenagers.  Shiloh can be possessive with toys, treats, or food and has snapped.  She will defend herself if another dog is aggressive towards her, but she has never bitten people, including any of the children she has been around.  We asked for more detail about how she is with other dogs, and her owner wrote, "I am hesitant to say she gets along with dogs. She gets along with my lab but she honestly doesn't get along with all dogs. It will depend on the dog and if the people are experienced with intelligent dominant breeds.  I will continue to foster her as long as needed. I just really want & need to find her a home."  Her owner also writes, "I just want her to have a good home. She is a sweetheart and just wants to climb in your lap and be loved. I can't keep her, I don't have the time or finances to take on another dog."         

Update 11/23/13: Shiloh is still looking for her forever home! Shiloh needs a home where she can be inside with her people. 

Update 4/13/14: We heard from Shiloh's owner. She still needs a new home. She wrote: She is doing wonderful!!! She has settled in quite nice. After a slightly rough start with my little dog, they have become friends. I think she could be ok with other dogs IF the people know how to gently correct & if the other dog isn't aggressive. Please help Shiloh find a new home!!
