1/21/04 (Wed) - No new sightings.  We're sorry we haven't had much time to devote to the site (see our posting of 11/02/03 for explanation), but you can bet we're still watching for Rumble every day!  We'll never give up on our boy.  No more news, so we're hoping he's been adopted by some loving family.  If we could only know that, we would be so relieved!  Whenever we hear a heart-warming "lost dog reunited with family" story, we get so encouraged!  Maybe one day Rumble will be that story.  In the meantime, we'd love to share with you a wonderful link for the Shiloh Rehome Program.  If you think you could love a Shiloh the way we do, you may want to open your heart and your home to one of these wonderful, oversized bundles of love. :-) 
 

5/15/04 (Sat) - No new sightings.  However, we've just received a very exciting email from someone who is reporting a sighting.  She's not in our area, but the last time Rumble was sighted was right before a nation-wide convention in that part of Virginia.  We like to imagine that some kind-hearted soul who was attending the convention saw a lost and hungry dog and took him back with them.  If Rumble is still wandering and lost, then we want to be able to capture him and bring him home.  But if he's been "adopted" and is a loved member of someone else's family, that would be wonderful.  Then all we wish is to know he's safe and loved.  We truly want what's best for Rumble.  Thank you.  (By the way, we've been having tremendous trouble with Rumble's email account so we've changed the form on the "Contact Us" page so it goes to another address where we can at least retrieve it.  Hopefully the email problems can be resolved soon.) 
 

5/23/04 (Sun) - No new sightings.  Still no word on our boy.  However, we would like to share with you news about a wonderful Shiloh girl who is looking for a forever home.  Her family had to give her up due to personal reasons.  Her name is "Dulcy" and she's a 3-year-old dark brown plush female who would make a wonderfully loving house dog for some lucky family! Thank you. 
 

8/22/04 (Sun) - No new sightings.  We do want to take this opportunity to try to help another lost dog though.  This one's quite a bit smaller than Rumble!  A good friend of ours found a young, male Jack Russel Terrier near Ruckersville, Virginia.  His foot was caught in a cable.  If you've lost this little fellow or think you know who he is, please call Gloria at 540-832-3051.  If anyone is in contact with Jack Russel owners in Virginia, we'd appreciate if you could share this information with them.  Thank you!
 

9/05/04 (Sun) - No new sightings.  Today we'd like to pause a moment to remember our dear Rumble on the occasion of his 4th birthday.  Rumble, wherever you are we love you and we pray you're well and happy.  To visit our birthday tribute to Rumble, please click here.  Thank you.  
 

9/12/04 (Sun) - No new sightings.  Friends of Rumble (FOR), a non-profit organization established to help homeless dogs and abused children help each other, has been launched!  Although we will never stop searching for Rumble, we have created FOR as his legacy.  Thank you.
 

10/11/04 (Mon) - No new sightings.  We'd like to share with you information about two beautiful purebred Shiloh Shepherd girls in desperate need of a home.  It's incredible and tragic, but Autumn and Coco, who have been together their entire lives, were abandoned.  According to the Shiloh Shepherd Rescue Network, these two girls are registered with papers and are descended from some of the legends of the breed.  They are both nine years old and are in quite good health.  Fortunately volunteers have kept them on the basic meds to prevent heartworm, Lyme disease, etc.  Here is a brief description: 

They are two spayed females who were raised together from the time they were pups, and are just nine and almost nine years old, who were abandoned in Brooklyn, and to the best of our knowledge, lived alone for about a year, in an abandoned house.  Autumn is a black and silver short haired girl, weighing 90 pounds. She is the more dominant and willful of the two, vigilant and the more vocal.  Coco is a golden plush sable, weighing 85 pounds. She is heavier-boned and more playful; and also more relaxed.
