My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

12/03/25
What did we do on today’s adventure:
I’m always excited to get out of my small kennel. It has been lonely since Squishy, my bonded furry friend got rescued without me. This time I sensed adventure as I am being fitted with harness! I let many human friends try to adjust my harness and in return got treats! I quickly jumped into the car when the back door opened and although I was nervous and anxious during the ride, I welcomed sunshine and crisp cold air when I arrived at the park! I saw a few squirrels and wanted to give chase but my human told me that they are friends and I left them alone. I was so overwhelmed by the new environment that I nervously reacted when I saw cyclists zooming towards me. Runners jogging towards me made menervous as well as I felt they were going to chase me. My human friend noticed this and helped me get pass my big emotions by distracting me or asking the other humans and dogs to give me plenty of space to pass safely. Other than that, I am an adventurer! I loved going down to the cold streams and licking the fresh dew off the green grass. A couple of human friends who walked pass me commented that I was a very cute dog! I wish I could’ve shown them my skills at catching treats thrown mid air and my powerful snuggles! We completed nearly 5 miles of trail adventures and I wish I could go for more soon.

What should potential adopters know about me:
Shiloh needs help regulating his big feelings when encountering dogs on leash or fast moving (runners, joggers, cyclists) objects. He would strive with calm environment and patience from his people as he learns to feel safe. He was found as stray with a bonded chihuahua who left the shelter so he would benefit from love, patience and structure from experienced dog owners who is willing to work with him.

Three words to describe me:
Playful, intense, loving
