Name: Zowie
Date of Birth and/or Age: 15 months (spayed)
Current Location: Maryland
Brief Summary of the Situation:
Zowie is a beautiful one-year and 3 month old spayed female available to an appropriate home that can love her, work with her and her high energy and play drive. She is up to date on all vaccines. We were told she is a Shiloh, but cannot verify that. She is a beautiful stable smooth coat.
Background: We are told that Zowie was on born on 8/2/18 by a “Amish farmer.” She is one year and 3 months old with stabilized EPI – Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency. She is on a strict diet of Royal Canine Gastrointestinal High Energy Canned and Dry dog food, and their treats. She is ready to convert to a regular non grain food like Taste of the Wild. She has two meals a day with special enzymes, Vitamin B12 and Slippery Elm. Further discussion with potential owners in great detail will be provided.
Issue: Our home has two older Shilohs and an older pit bull. The original owner said she did not get along with small dogs. She gets along with our dogs outside most of the time. She has growled and tried to start fights with our older girls on occasion and has started a short fight with our eldest Shiloh. We felt she was socialized with our pit bull outside. In the house, on both visits/attempts upstairs, she attacked the pit bull. No harm was done - we move quickly!
Resolution: For the health and safety of all involved, I believe it is time to move this high energy Shiloh into the RIGHT home. The ideal situation is no other animals – period and no small children. she loves to play ball. You must be prepared to take her on walks, work on her training (pretty good level for a 1 year old), run around the yard, feed her on schedule 2x day (with only the proper food and additives – no snacks for her, and recommended treats). She is a beautiful, loving, playful dog with lots of play drive! Also very smart and crate trained!
