Shiloh's mom says: Shiloh joined our family a little over a month ago. We weren’t looking for a dog; we already had two, a 14-year-old mutt named Astro and a three-year-old golden retriever named Barley. I work from home and happened to catch the news at noon. They were broadcasting live from the humane society and showcased a litter of beagle mix pups. They held up Shiloh and I just knew she needed to come home with us. I threw on my coat and loaded up my three-year-old and off we went. When we got there we learned that Shiloh was already taken. We played with her a bit and I left my phone number in case it fell through. We got a call the next day that it fell through, so when my older boys got home from school we went down to pick her up. She is adjusting quite well to our lively household and adores her big sister Barley, and Barley is happy to have a playful pup around. We think she may be part Jack Russell.
