Shiloh was rescued as a tiny puppy alongside his mother, who was found paralyzed and unable to care for herself. He is currently living in Egypt but is available for adoption across the UK, having already been microchipped and neutered. According to an official statement, he is a very sweet young boy who does not deserve to live out his days in a busy shelter.
The specific rescue organization handling his adoption and his exact shelter location in Egypt have not been disclosed. Prospective adopters must contribute a minimum of £500 toward travel costs, though the actual transportation cost is higher and may be subsidized for the right household. The full cost and subsidy criteria remain unclear.
Shiloh gets along well with both dogs and cats and needs a home that will help him settle at his own pace with basic training and life skills tailored to a disabled dog. An adoption profile description states that he requires a loving home, happy to adopt a blind and deaf dog, that will need time to adjust and find his feet, with work into basic training and life skills with a disabled dog. The specific training required and the number of adoption inquiries he has received are unknown.
Carers describe Shiloh as a very sweet boy with a gentle disposition, and those looking after him say he has a calm and affectionate character and is finding his own way of navigating the world. On social media, one Facebook user commented that he is beautiful and urged people not to be put off by his blindness, sharing their experience with a blind rescue dog who thrives with voice commands and confidence.
