The Shiloh Shepherds in Mobile, Alabama have ALL been ADOPTED!
Lucky - Jazz - Gracie - Sweetie - Girlie - Puppies
The Mobile Alabama dogs came from Southern Shiloh Shepherds. Although this breeder was not affiliated with any club or registry, her dogs and litters were being followed by a few people privately.
Southern Shiloh's lines were from originally from ISSR registered dogs, and where their first litter was registered. Jazz was Laz/Sheba and Recon was Thor/Panda. Both dogs are now deceased.
The first litter out of Jazz and Recon produced a male and female named Wolfie and Sis. These dogs were bred together to produce a litter, from which came Tippy.
Tippy was bred to Kane (Zirk/ Pocahantas Sioux). Kane and Tippy produced several litters together, all of which are purported to have wonderful temperaments.
The Mobile SPCA has stated that none of the Shiloh Shepherds currently in their care have shown any signs of aggression. It's clear that none of them have any degree of obedience training however, which is important information to know for anyone considering adoption.
We hope to one day be able to define precisely who the parents of each of these dogs are. We hope their former owner/breeder will let us know this information eventually, once she's become settled again.
This started as an extremely unfortunate situation, but is now extremely positive for the future of every one of these Shiloh Shepherds. All 5 adult dogs and all 5 puppies have been adopted by their forever families!!!
WE WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS A PROFOUND THANK-YOU TO EVERYONE WHO RESPONDED WITH DONATIONS AND ADOPTION APPLICATIONS!
We would like to extend our upmost appreciation to Krisha Howell of the Mobile SPCA for going to the ends of the earth to work with us!

Meet Lucky!
Lucky is still under a year of age and has a whole lot of maturing to do. He must be wondering what the heck is going on! We are looking for a stable, confidence-building new home for this sweet guy.
Lucky deserves it!
Update - July 1: Lucky is a follower and very friendly. He's going through a barking stage right now, however he looks to the other dogs and to people for approval of his behavior. He's a happy young male that would benefit from some positive guidance in his development.
Update - August 13: Lucky is in his new home with the Simpson's of Marshall, NC! |
Meet Jazz!
Please note: This is not "the Jazz" that was sold to the original owner, however the SPCA was told this was her name, so that's what we'll call her. Jazz is the mother of the available puppies. She's an older girl who needs to be pampered and loved in her retirement.
Can you give Jazz the love she's longing for?
Update - July 1: Jazz is the most socialized of these dogs. She is very friendly with people. She's a very smart girl who is aware of everything going on around her. She also walks on a leash. We believe Jazz to be 6 or 7 years of age.
Update - August 13: Jazz, renamed "Grace", is in her new home with the McLaughlin's of Bandera, TX! |
Meet Gracie!
Gracie has the same coloration as some of the most admired Shiloh Shepherds. She's obviously worried in this picture, and she'll need a gentle, encouraging new owner. But what a stunning girl she will blossom into with the right family!
Are you the one to Grace her with a new home?
Update - July 1: Gracie is the most timid of the bunch. She is very submissive as well. Like all the other dogs, Gracie is accepting of hugs and kisses, but will require an experienced and patient new owner to help build her confidence.
Update - August 13: Gracie is now in her new home with the Rosenthal's of New York City! |
Meet Sweetie!
As if her name doesn't say it all! Sweetie has that look to melt your heart. She too is confused and worried right now, but she's willing to trust that special someone with her loyalty and love. Please consider the expression in her eyes.
Sweetie is only a few years old, with many sweet years ahead of her.
Update - July 1: Sweetie is a very submissive girl, and generally the most stand-offish. She will gently accept people who approach to hug and kiss her, but she's not confident about making an approach on her own. Sweetie needs an owner who is kind and able to take one step at a time in building her level of trust and security.
Update - August 13: Sweetie is now in her new home with the Demestihas' of Salem, OR! |
Meet Girlie!
She IS a girlie-girl as you can see from her happy expression! Girlie has a certain spark in her eyes that says "Whatcha doin? - Can I play too?" Also a few years old, Girlie certainly deserves a chance for years of contentment and happiness.
Is she your Girlie-girl?
Update - July 1: She is the most playful, outgoing and confident of all the dogs. She has a true zest for life, and recently discovered to be quite an athlete as she's jumped a 6 foot fence while at the SPCA! Girlie would benefit by an active owner who is willing to develop her naturally social personality, plus a big yard with a really high fence.
Update - August 13: Girlie is now in her new home with the Power's of Raeford, NC! |
Meet the Mobile Miracles!
These 5 Mobile Miracles were surrendered to the SPCA at only 3 weeks of age. It's been touch and go if they would survive at all. Through the tireless efforts of the Mobile SPCA's veterinarians, all 5 Miracle's are eating on their own now, gaining strength every day.
Update - July 1: The puppies are all doing well. They've been eating soft food and are now being changed over to dry food. Some stools are still a bit runny, but they're all gaining weight and playing with one another. The litter is now 5 weeks of age and should be ready for adoption at the end of July. The SPCA will spay/neuter these puppies prior to placement.
Update - August 13: From Left to Right:
Cesarina is now in her new home with the Conley's of Newport News, VA!
Tchaikovsky is now in his new home with the Sekula's of New Port Richey, FL!
Mozart is now in his new home with the Tursi's of Beachwood, NJ!
Magdalena is now in her new home with the Wong's of Marrero, LA!
Bach is now in his new home with the Mann's of Conyers, GA!
