I believe this sweetie may be going home to her real FOREVER family soon! She was originally a stray but when MF contacted her owner, he said something to the effect of "ah....my new girlfriend doesn't like her so much so you can keep her." She's having a tough time adjusting to shelter life so, hopefully, her stay is brief!! She's such a lover and responds to pets and enjoys walks (which she needs more of!)
Hello! My name is Shilo and I'm a 6-year-YOUNG, female Chow mix. I was initially a stray who was brought to MaxFund and was thrilled when they found my microchip and located my previous owner. Sadly, my family said that they didn't have time to take care of me and hoped that MaxFund would find me a better family. I really miss the kids that I lived with (3 kids under the age of 5!), but I know that the perfect family is out there searching for me right now!
My previous owners really had nothing bad to say about me so I can't understand why they didn't come pick me up right away. You might ask why I'll make the perfect four-legged family member? Well...here goes...
Housebroken? Check.
Good with kids? Check.
Good with other dogs? Check.
Good with cats? Check.
Basic obedience? Check.
Good on a leash? Check.
As I've been rather neglected during my life, I've packed on a little extra weight (I'm currently 70lbs). But, lucky for you, several studies (by the National Institutes of Health, nonetheless!) show that dog owners who regularly walk their dogs are more physically active, more mobile inside their homes, less likely to be obese, and experience less stress, anxiety and loneliness! Research also shows that walking your dog helps contribute to positive, enjoyable social interactions! Woah baby! Looks like we'll both benefit by regular exercise in 2011!
I'm patiently waiting for a loving, faithful, attentive family in which I can relax and trust that they will always keep me safe, healthy and protected. Not too shabby of a goal for 2011, eh? I look forward to meeting YOU soon!
