While driving on a freeway in Rubidoux, California, David Loop, the founder of Sierra Pacific Furbabies, spotted a mysterious black shape near an exit ramp. Fearing it was an injured animal, Loop quickly exited his vehicle and rushed over, only to realize it was a dog that had been hit by a car. Initially believing the pup was gone, he was relieved to find the dog breathing and promptly called for backup.
Shiloh Receives Urgent Help
Upon his approach, the frightened dog, later named Shiloh, managed to lift his head and growled in fear. Loop comforted Shiloh, assuring him that he was safe, and shortly after, the rescue team arrived. They cautiously lifted him into a comfortable bed and rushed to the emergency vet, with Loop offering love and reassurance along the way.
At the vet clinic, Shiloh captured everyone’s hearts. The vet team performed a thorough examination, discovering that while he had no broken bones, he was unable to move his back legs due to head trauma and complete paralysis. Loop shared on Instagram, “The prognosis was not good.” Nonetheless, the veterinary team was committed to his recovery and provided the care he desperately needed.
His condition improved as he began responding to stimuli in his back legs. After a week at the clinic, the veterinary team determined he was strong enough to continue his recovery at Loop’s home.
Recovering At Loop’s Home
Loop welcomed Shiloh into his home, where his family showered him with love. Unsure of whether Shiloh would ever walk again, they dedicated themselves to his care, hoping for a miracle. Loop shared, “We hand-fed him to help him regain his strength. He was the best patient ever.” His caregivers implemented various treatments during his rehabilitation, including water therapy and laser treatments; however, it was the immense love from Loop’s family that ultimately facilitated his recovery.
As Shiloh continued to recover, his once fearful demeanor transformed into one of affection and hope. The Loop family felt overwhelming joy when they witnessed him wagging his tail for the first time, signaling his determination to fight for his life. They supported him as he made significant progress, including sitting up on his own after several weeks.
“He’s an amazing little doggy [who] has a strong desire to live. He’s another miracle baby,” Loop remarked.
Shiloh defied the odds and made a full recovery, regaining his ability to walk and run.
A Life Filled With Love
A month post-rescue, Shiloh joyfully leaped into his forever mom’s arms, excited to begin a new chapter with his family. His forever family was utterly captivated by him, providing all the love he deserved. With sparkling eyes, Shiloh finally embraced the life he had always dreamed of, playing with his toys and enjoying the company of his new canine sibling.
We celebrate the resilient sweetheart from California who triumphed over adversity. His determination and fighting spirit for recovery are truly commendable.
Special thanks to Loop and his family for their unwavering dedication and love for Shiloh.
