While driving on a freeway in Rubidoux, California, David Loop, the founder of the animal rescue Sierra Pacific Furbabies, noticed a mysterious black lump near an exit ramp. Fearing it was an injured animal, he quickly hit the brakes, jumped out, and rushed over to investigate. A wave of sadness washed over him when he realized the lump was a dog that had been hit by a car and, initially, appeared unresponsive.
However, upon closer inspection, he noticed the dog was breathing. Loop immediately called his team for backup. After hearing Loop’s footsteps, the injured pup, later named Shiloh, lifted his head and growled out of fear. Loop reassured him, remaining by his side until the rescue team arrived. They gently lifted Shiloh onto a comfortable bed in the truck and sped off to the emergency vet, with loop cuddling him to provide comfort during the ride.
Shiloh Receives Urgent Help
When the rescue team arrived, they carefully placed Shiloh in the truck, where Loop continued to soothe him until they reached the vet clinic. Upon arrival, Shiloh charmed everyone around him. Although there were no broken bones, he was found to have suffered head trauma and complete paralysis. Loop later shared on Instagram, “The prognosis was not good.” However, the vet team was dedicated to providing Shiloh the care he needed.
The vet team rejoiced when Shiloh began responding to pain in his back legs. After a week at the clinic, they assessed that Shiloh was strong enough to recover at Loop’s home. Loop brought Shiloh home, where his family welcomed him with open arms and devoted themselves to his care. Though uncertain about his ability to walk again, they remained hopeful. Loop mentioned, “We hand-fed him so he could regain his strength. He was the best patient ever.”
Recovering At Loop’s Home
His family showered him with love as they tended to him, uncertain if he would ever walk again. The caregivers fought for Shiloh’s recovery, employing various methods like water therapy and laser treatment. Ultimately, it was the immeasurable love from Loop’s family that had the most profound impact on his healing journey.
Over time, Shiloh’s fearful eyes transformed into those of affection and hope. When Loop’s family witnessed him wagging his tail for the first time, they experienced pure joy, recognizing his determination to recover.
“He’s an amazing little doggy [who] has a strong desire to live. He’s another miracle baby,” Loop reflected.
Shiloh amazed everyone by defying the odds and fully recovering; he was even able to walk and run again.
A Life Filled With Love
A month after being rescued, Shiloh joyfully met his forever mom, jumping into her arms. He was excited to begin a new chapter with his loving family. They were utterly enchanted by him, showering him with affection, and his eyes sparkled with pure happiness as he finally realized his dreams of a loving home were coming true.
Shiloh now thrives in his new life, enjoying playtime with his toys and forming a bond with his doggy sibling, proving to be the resilient and spirited sweetheart that he is. We are thrilled that this remarkable dog overcame the odds, thanks to his unyielding fighting spirit, his determination, and the unwavering support from Loop and his family.
