About Shiloh (Labrador retriever) in San Jose

Shiloh is waiting for you at San Jose Animal Care Center in San Jose, CA 95111. 03/25/26 15:10Shiloh is a loving, sweet and handsome dog who's been at our shelter for over 6 months. He is a big lap dog despite his size, and loves to lean against or sit near the people he loves. He loves to go all out during play time and loves to run, leap, jump over stuff and chase toys. When being pet though, he soaks up all the love and could sit with his friends all day! After being at the shelter for some time, Shiloh has developed some reactivty towards other dogs, barking and pulling towards them. Shiloh would need a patient and caring adopter that can manage this behavior and eventually show him that dogs can be just as fun as his favorite people. Despite Shiloh's observed reactivity while with us, when he initially arrived to us as stray he actually came in with a little chihuahua friend! They were inseparable and were even dormed together at our shelter, but his friend was eventually adopted leaving poor Shiloh behind. Today, Shiloh waits for his chance for a new family just like his friend and is waiting for a loving and new adopter that can help him start the next chapter of his life!!01/16/26Shiloh is an intelligent and alert dog who is highly engaged with his environment and very affiliative with humans. He is tolerant and affectionate with handlers and enjoys interaction once out of the kennel. Shiloh is highly motivated by other dogs and can become fixated or reactive, especially in shelter settings or when passing adjacent dogs, but he is able to calm with structure, distance, and gradual exposure. He would thrive in an experienced home as the only dog, where he can receive consistent guidance, mental stimulation, and positive outlets for his energy.04/30/26What I did today:This wasn't my first Trails & Tails adventure, and I was ready to go – I hopped straight into the car and claimed my spot at the window to take in all the best smells on the way over!
