He has been in kennels for over a year - but young Shiloh is still patiently waiting for a forever home.

The 19-month-old dog was rescued as a tiny puppy alongside his mum who had been found paralysed and unable to care for herself.

The poor pooch is blind and has severely impaired hearing, meaning he perceives the world in an entirely different way to most other animals.

Despite this, carers describe him as a "very sweet" boy with a gentle disposition.

Shiloh is currently living in Egypt but is available for adoption across the UK. He has already been microchipped and neutered.

A rehoming appeal notes that he gets along well with both dogs and cats, making him suitable for many households which are understanding and sympathetic towards his additional needs.

Despite his challenging start in life, those looking after him say he has a calm and affectionate character and is finding his own way of navigating the world.

"He is a very sweet young boy who does not deserve to live out his days in a busy shelter," the appeal reads.

However, rescuers are keen to stress that Shiloh will require a very particular type of home - one that is patient, loving, and willing to help him settle in at his own pace.

His future family must be prepared to support him with basic training and life skills tailored specifically to a disabled dog, offering him the time and reassurance required to build his confidence.

The charity states that Shiloh would flourish in a peaceful environment where he can gradually find his feet without feeling under any pressure.

His adoption profile reads: "A loving home, happy to adopt a blind and deaf dog, that will need time to adjust and find his feet. A home willing to put the work into basic training and life skills with a disabled dog."

He is available for adoption via direct message or through the rescue's website.

Prospective adopters are required to make a minimum contribution of £500 towards travel costs, though the organisation notes the actual cost of transportation is considerably higher and may be subsidised for the right household.

With Shiloh having already spent over a year in shelter care, supporters are being urged to share his story on Facebook.

Responding to his post, one user wrote: "He is beautiful. Please don't be put off by his blindness.

"I have a blind rescue dog. She is amazing! They figure the world out and take to voice commands so easily.

"Be confident and don't baby them and they thrive. My girl is a hooligan. People find it hard to believe that she's blind."
