Meet the precious Silas! 🌟 This charming boy graced the rescue with his presence six months ago after being surrendered by his previous owner. But he’s not just any dog; Silas is a fighter with an enormous spirit, despite facing some tough challenges. At just 10 months old, Silas was discovered to have a grade 4-6 heart murmur during his neuter surgery! 💔 Our journey with him took us to a specialist who diagnosed him with severe pulmonary artery hypoplasia and a substantial atrial septal defect. The news hit hard: Silas has a guarded prognosis and may only have 1-2 years to fill this world with joy. 💖 But let’s not dwell on the challenges—let’s talk about the love this little guy has to give! Silas is a petite 16 lbs of pure love; he’s likely a terrier mix and won’t get any bigger. While he adores spending time with his furry friends, he can’t quite keep up with their high-energy shenanigans for long. Instead, Silas prefers a cozy nap spot, lounging around the house—like a true king! 💤👑 Though he’s not quite the potty-training champion just yet, he’s making progress with potty pads and outdoor adventures. Plus, he’s fully crate trained! Silas is looking for a special family who will shower him with love and pampering during the time he has left. 🌈❤️ This lovable companion deserves only the best, and it’s heartbreaking to think of how he ended up at the shelter. Let’s find him that perfect home where he can be spoiled and treasured! 🌟 Apply to adopt Silas through the Buddy App and give this courageous little guy the life he deserves! You won’t regret bringing this bundle of joy into your home! 🐾❤️ Southern Indiana Animal Rescue has a mission to care for animals like Silas, and ensuring they find loving families is their top priority.
