Shiloh

The NYState Police called me to ask for help removing a dog from an abandoned townhouse. Her owners had moved that morning and left her in the yard. She<br/> wouldn't let anyone near her - frightened and confused she did the best she could<br/> to protect the property until her people returned. She didn't know they didn't care<br/> about her - how could she? She had given them years of love and devotion and,<br/> being a dog, could not understand how all that love could be rewarded by leaving<br/> her behind with the trash.<br/><br/> The police were kind, they didn't want to shoot her but she was so aggressive that<br/> they could not safely collar her. When I arrived (transquillizers and liverwurst in my<br/> hand) she greeted me with snarls and bared teeth - I couldn't convince her that I<br/> would love her and that she could trust me. Hours later, relaxed by the mild<br/> tranquillizer, she allowed me to lead her to my car. There, in the back seat she<br/> cried.<br/><br/> She was skinny (38 pounds when she should have been 75) but would not eat -<br/> thirsty but would not drink - tired but would not sleep. For two days this German<br/> Shepherd paced until finally, exhaustion caused her to collapse. I sat near her telling<br/> her that she was home now and we would not abandon her but she didn't care. She<br/> wouldn't look at me, had no interest in my words. She was still waiting for her people<br/> to come back.<br/><br/> With a little help from the neighbors I found out that she was loved at one time. Her<br/> 'mom' found a new boyfriend recently and then her life changed. He didn't want this<br/> loyal dog in the house and 'mom' was in love so the trash strewn yard became<br/> Shiloh's home. She watched through the sliding glass door as mom's new boyfriend<br/> abused her - she could do nothing. On occasions the neighbors threw food to her<br/> but mom did not. She withered and worried and wasted away.<br/><br/> One recent morning she looked at me with trust, allowed me to touch her and ate the food<br/> I offered her. When she finished she sat down and offered me her paw. Shilo has come a long way since then and has become a nice, gentle, and very sweet dog. She is dog friendly and still looking for her forever home. Please fill out an application to meet her.
