Shiloh was taken from SCMR family by a neighbor on 8-6-24. She was only 8 years old. To read what happened to Shiloh, the links below to change.org explain the circumstances. Her necropsy report is included as well. To help be a voice for Shiloh and stand up for the animal cruelty she endured at the hands of my neighbor, email the prosecutor of Antrim County James Rossiter at [email protected] and encourage him to press the much needed charges against my neighbor.
Shiloh was one of my two main lead dogs for our team as well as my main ambassador dog for SCMR. In her absence I will not be able to do my fall/spring program which would have provided much needed funds. The financial and emotional stress that this man has caused cannot be fathomed. #JusticeforShiloh

For the record Shiloh was not on his property when he admitted to shooting her. He claimed first she was struck by a car and died.
It was when I took her home and found the bullet hole, I drove back and confronted him. He changed his story and then stated she was struck by a car, had a broken back and he had to end her suffering. FIRST LIE.
Necropsy report above proves Shiloh was never hit by a car. SECOND LIE.

In Shiloh’s Memory
Each day I will be posting a dog from a rescue/shelter that is in need of a home. SCMR has a wonderful platform of supporters and we can help get the word out. Please message us on any social media platform with the dog’s info (Doesn’t have to be a northern breed) or email at [email protected]
Our sister business Malagator, Arlo, and SCM Barkery has options for purchasing treats that I will ship to a different shelter/rescue each week in honor of Shiloh. For every 10lbs purchased, the Barkery will donate an additional pound. Shipping on the Shelter/Rescue Cookies is also donated by the Barkery.

Help SCMR relocate
Sadly, the Pups of SCMR need to relocate for safety. What if a tree falls on my fencing and the Pups get out? This man will continue to execute any dog near his property and it’s a risk I cannot afford to take. Our Go Fund Me link is below. Sadly, it won’t be until Spring, but I am making every effort now.
