About Shiloh

Meet Shiloh! This young girl is a little dynamo, having jumped into rescue after being found as a stray with a litter of puppies. Though she was covered in fleas, Shiloh's spirit shines bright. She’s around 1 to 2 years old and full of energy, yet she loves to settle in for cuddles once she warms up to you. Initially a bit shy, her affectionate nature shines through with gentle holding and petting. Shiloh thrives around other dogs, playing and sharing her space with her foster’s dog. While she enjoys the company, she'd also adapt well as the only dog if her family can dedicate time to her. She’s a medium-energy pup who loves her walks, both long and short. House trained and well-mannered, Shiloh has quickly learned the ins and outs of crate training. However, like many young dogs, she has a curious side that requires supervision—especially around food and waste bins. Shiloh is looking for a home that values walks and outdoor time. A condo or townhome could suit her well, provided she has a secure area to roam safely. She is also learning boundaries at doors and will need an adopter who can reinforce these. This sweet, playful girl is ready to bring joy to a loving family. She could do well with another dog or as an only pet and will thrive with attention and affection.
