Meet Shiloh, the sweet, intelligent, and affectionate pup who’s ready to find a home where she can thrive! Shiloh wandered up to her Texan foster family while they were out on a walk.  She was then brought into rescue, and she’s been blossoming into a loving companion ever since. Shiloh is great with children, other dogs, and adults. Though she hasn’t been around cats her gentle and friendly nature suggests she’d likely do well, but we still recommend slow intros, and making sure any resident kitties have a safe space to retreat to if needed. Shiloh loves being close to her humans—whether it’s following you from room to room, napping nearby, or soaking up belly rubs. She lives for praise and thrives on affirmations, often preferring them over treats. This clever girl is leash trained, crate trained, and eager to please. She’s learning quickly—she even figured out how to ring the bells by the back door to go outside!  She is mostly potty trained, and a consistent schedule of feeding/outside time will help to reinforce those good potty training habits that she has already formed.  While she’s made great strides with her leash manners, further reinforcement of those good manners will need to occur in her new home here in MN as well. Shiloh’s daily routine is a balance of activity and relaxation. She enjoys two 30-minute walks and gets her energy out with playtime and attention. Afterward, she’s happy to nap in a sunny spot, the middle of the floor, or her kennel. She’s a self-paced eater who seems to prefer snacking throughout the day rather than eating her meals all at once. Though Shiloh is affectionate and eager to please, she does vocalize her.. shall we say displeasure. Especially when kenneled or left outside alone for too long. She may vocalize her feelings with howls, but regular exercise, mental stimulation, and a little patience will allow her to become accustomed to her new surroundings/routine. At night, she sleeps best in her kennel if it’s placed in the same room as her humans. Shiloh would thrive in a home with someone who can dedicate time to her exercise and engagement needs. She’s an intelligent, gentle, and goofy girl who will repay your love with loyalty, cuddles, and plenty of laughs. If you’re looking for a companion who’ll adore you endlessly, Shiloh might just be your perfect match! Go and fill out that adoption application today.. she honestly can't wait to meet you! Shiloh is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 1/25/2025 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 9AM and 12PM. Please plan for their arrival accordingly as we cannot accommodate pickups outside of this time frame.  Since they haven’t arrived yet, they are available exclusively through Ruff Start’s Foster to Adopt (FTA) Program. Click here to learn more about the FTA program. Once they get to Minnesota, they might require further veterinary care. Ruff Start’s veterinary suite is located in Princeton, MN, and, as the foster, you will be required to transport your dog to and from these vetting appointments. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract.
