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.

Available February 2011

Listed below are the dogs we currently have available to approved homes. We also do rescue, so please contact us for others that may be available.

**************************************

Miss Lilly is available to a good home. Her new family adopted her from another breeder and it was discovered that she did not get along with the existing dog in the home. They contacted the ISSDC rescue/rehome for help and we agreed to foster her. She is an owner surrender.
She is a mostly black plush with a small amount of cream, a tad on the small side but very sweet with people. She has absolutely no food aggression and gently takes treats from your hand. She must go into a home as an only dog as she tends to dominate over other dogs. She is crate trained, and generally well mannered. She will make a fine companion. She has been completely vetted, with full blood panels normal, thyroid normal and vaccinations and worming up to date. She does have a faint heart murmur graded at less than a one that will not affect her as a companion dog.
We would prefer a fenced yard and a home with no other dogs or small animals.


Please contact BelleGrace Shilohs for more information.

Congratulations, Taylor and Jordan

Taylor has been adopted! She was spayed, had her pearly whites cleaned and polished, and was updated on all vaccines to get ready for her new home. Now living in NY with a wonderful couple, Taylor lives as an only dog who goes for long walks twice a day and is pampered as she deserves. We got these couple of shots of Taylor the day she left. Such a gorgeous girl!






Jordan has also been approved for her new home. She will be leaving us after the first of the year.




We wish both of these girls all the best in their new lives.

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.

Currently Available: July 2010

Jordan: Jordan is a very sweet girl, loving and affectionate. She will be available in late October, once she has weaned her babies and is spayed. She will be good in just about any environment. She will make a wonderful family pet. Jordan is five years old, plush golden sable.
ADOPTED



Knightro: Knightro is a 4 1/2 year old plush black/silver male with a heart of gold. He gets along great with other females, and some neutered males. He has a soft temperament and would do well in a home with older children or a home with older adults. His brother Dante' is one of our success stories.(see picture on right) Knightro did not pass his health testing and has mild HD in one hip. While it is not bad enough to limit his activity, he can not be used for breeding. He will make an awesome family companion. Knightro has been raised exclusively in our home, and has never been kenneled. He is crate trained, and learns quickly. He will need his house manners brushed up on, but will catch on quickly once he knows what is expected.



Rayne: Miss Rayne is a five year old smooth gray sable female, with a solid stable yet reserved temperament. She is being retired and as much as we would love to keep her, we feel she would do best in a home. She gets along well with other dogs, especially males, as long as they are soft tempered. She loves to play and is very athletic. She is very willing to please and loves to sit by your side and be petted. She has been raised in our home and is crate trained, walks well on a leash, and would do well in continuing obedience. She must go to a home with a fenced yard.




Taylor: Taylor is a very sweet, plush red sable, 5 year old female. She will be available later this year, after another breeding attempt. Taylor has never produced a litter for us, so we would like to give her one more chance.
She has completed basic obedience, and has a strong desire to please. She would do well with children and adults.
ADOPTED

Our Available Adults

From time to time we find it is necessary to find good forever homes for some of our Shilohs. It could be that they are retired and deserve to be pampered as an only dog. Or maybe they just didn't develop into something we felt should move forward in the breed. Either way, they need forever homes with someone who can love them.

Below are two of our Shilohs, looking for that special person/persons to call their very own.

Maizi

Maizi is an extremely sweet girl, very loving and affectionate. She is 6 years old, spayed, and in excellent health. She is a confident girl, and loves everyone. All she wants is to loved and petted, she will be your friend forever.
Luka
Luka is a very handsome smooth brown sable. He has a strong, confident attitude and needs someone who has shepherd experience. He is a very loving boy, and respects authority. He would do best in a home with no children or small pets. A fenced yard would be a plus.
Please contact us about either one of these fine dogs for more information.
