Continue Saving Shiloh
Donation protected
Shiloh is a 4 year old rescue dog who currently lives in Hawaii with foster parents. There are not enough resources here for him to get proper, consistent help. Since July, 2021, only two behaviorists have been able to evaluate Shiloh and both could not dedicate the time needed for a case such as this one. Because of this, the rescue's only option left for him is euthanasia if we can not get him off the island to main land in the next THREE DAYS when I leave.
Shiloh's foster parents have medical bills piled up from his past bites and lost even more money when having to take time off work to heal. They planned on keeping Shiloh, even while trying to find help for his behavior. At this point in time, they realize that the best option for Shiloh's future is to be somewhere that he can receive help and thrive.
Upon arriving, I knew that Shiloh had a bite history but that did not deter me from giving 100% to this dog who deserves a chance - just as we all do. I was told that I am his last chance at getting to live because the rescue who owns him does not have the funds or experience to truly help Shiloh. This rescue has done numerous things to rescue dogs and to give the best veterinary care possible with their mobile service.
Shiloh tried to attack me on more than one occasion on the first couple days of his "rehabilitation camp." After increasing his exercise daily, practicing structure, creating routines, building a connection, communicating effectively, gaining trust and forming a bond -- we have had many breakthroughs.
I believe that every dog can be rehabilitated (with the exception of medical issues). In order to do so, the dog must be in an environment where everyone around is experienced and in agreement with the new structure, routine and training methods.
Please, share this fundraiser even if you can not donate.
Shiloh deserves to live and I know he has the potential to be an excellent companion for someone, somewhere (who may just happen to find him by sharing this link).
