Shilo

Shilo had a tragic beginning, he was attacked as a puppy by a larger dog breaking his jaw and blinding him in one eye.  Living in a kennel, life was looking dismal for poor Shilo.  He was surrendered to rescue scared and unsure of himself.  We are please to announce that Shilo has turned out to be one smart cookie, he now listens to basic commands, walks slack on lead and is 100% house trained.  His foster family has decided to make Shilo a member of their family :)  He is now a house dog and is doing great!!  He will always have problems eating due to his bottom jaw being a full inch shorter than his top jaw, but he manages just fine!!



UPDATE ON SHILO

Shilo has now been placed into a home with no livestock. True to his breed, he wanted to work the horses, etc.. After living with Lori and her family for several months, it was with great sadness that they decided that Shilo needed to be in a home without horses for his own good. Due to his vision impairment, he was putting himself in the position of getting kicked or otherwise hurt by the horses. Shilo is adjusting great to being a "city dog".
