About Our Rehome Program

From time to time, we find that we must find good homes for good dogs. Sometimes these dogs are from our breeding program and are being retired. They have blessed us with many miracles and we feel it is only fair to find a home for them where they can be number one, not one of numbers. While it breaks our heart, it is what we feel is for the best interest of the dog, to go into a home where they can be pampered, and doted on, treated as royalty.

On occassion, we have a pup returned because their owner can not keep them. This could be because of a loss of income, loss of home, or a change in schedule. We then step in and help with finding a forever home.

There is also the ones that just do not mature as we had hoped, and we feel they should not move forward for breeding.

Adopting an adult has its own challenges. While a puppy will adjust to a new home within days, an adult takes much longer. You must be willing to devote at least a minimum of one month to allow time for adjustment. There will be issues arise, just as with a pup, only different. But know in the end, an adult can offer so much. And we offer support and help in solving any problems that may arise.

Adoption Requirements

We are very careful where we place our adults. Temperament matches are a must, so we will ask you many questions to see if we have "a fit". Our top priority is to find the best home for our dogs. They are dogs we have raised and we love them very much. It is critical that we find the absolute best environment for them to live out their retirement years.

We prefer that you live within 150-200 miles of our home. If, for some reason the adoption does not work out, it is much easier to return the dog to us. That is required as we refuse to allow one of our dogs to ever enter a shelter situation.

Our Shilohs are to live as house companions. They are not to be kenneled outside or tethered to a dog house.

A fenced yard is preferred. However, we will consider someone without a fenced yard if they are experienced dog handlers.

We reserve the right to do a home check as well as requiring references. Adoption fees vary, please contact us

Pickup is in person as we will not ship adult Shilohs. It is much too stressful for them.

New Rescue Available

Picture coming soon......but we just opened our home to a rescue Shiloh. Her name is Lily, and she is a mostly black 4 year old plush female. She has come to us as a rescue, having spent most of her time not in a home environment. She has been completely checked by our vet, updated on all vaccines, is heartworm/lyme negative, and thyroid normal. She is adapting well to learning how to live inside a home. She is now crated trained, walks nicely on a leash and will soon be starting some basic obedience.
She is looking for a forever home. Miss Lily is very affectionate, and loves to be loved. She would do best with a woman as her main handler, but will make up to men if given the chance. A fenced yard would be a plus. She also needs to be an only dog as she tends to be dominant over other dogs. There has been no food aggression. She is extremely intelligent and is willing to please. For more information, please contact us.
