Rat Terrier - Shiloh - Small - Adult - Female - Dog in Middle Bass, Ohio For Sale

Rat Terrier - Shiloh - Small - Adult - Female - Dog
Shiloh is a Puppy Mill Breeder dog - She has had MANY litters of puppies. She is a Rat Terrier. She is approx 5-6 Yrs. Old. She weighs 14 Lbs. She is up to date on all vaccinations and is spayed. Shiloh loves to be loved - but hates to be man-handled in any way and must constantly be monitored for getting into the shut-down mode. She is one of the Puppy Mill Rescue dogs that simply generated no interest for adoption - which breaks our hearts..because she is a WONDERFUL DOG. She needs a very gentle hand and would do best in a quiet home. She is dog friendly but, most likely will be afraid of cats, or will simply ignore them. Since her entire life was spent breeding - and was not socialized she shows un-trust of Children. Unfortunately Breeder Dogs do not come to us with a story of what exactly spurs the reactions they display .. perhaps a child abused her - we will never know .. We do feel with a gentle hand and soft environment she can overcome this. She will go into a mode we call simply TERRIFIED.. You can hold her and she will snuggle - but one must remember that for many years she lived a life of hell. Sudden movements scare her.. Are YOU that SPECIAL HOME?? Can you teach Shiloh that not everyone is mean? Can YOU give Shiloh her well deserved furever home ?
