About Shilah

Meet Shilah, a lovely young lady looking for her forever home. This sweet girl has a gentle nature but is fearful of sudden noises and quick movements. You'll find she can walk on a leash, although she tends to get spooked easily. A quiet, routine-oriented home would be ideal for her, along with a securely fenced yard to help keep her safe. Shilah has shown some progress in trusting humans since coming to Furkids, but she needs time and patience to continue growing. She's recently completed treatment for heartworms, so she’ll need a calm environment for the next month. Shilah weighs about 31 lbs and is estimated to be around 3 years old (her birthday is February 24, 2023). Adopting her may require a few meet and greets, as she’ll need the right connection. If you think you're the hero she’s been waiting for, please apply to furkids.org. Shilah currently gets along well with dogs, adding to her appeal as a potential family member. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
