Dog reunited with family 7 years after it went missing

Shiloh the dog had been missing for seven years, but thanks to a microchip it took almost no time for the shelter to get ahold of her family, who had long since moved away.

Shiloh escaped from the Charleston home of Chris Eastman and his family while they were visiting relatives in Louisville, Kentucky, in 2014. A family member had been dog-sitting Shiloh and another dog when they escaped.

When the Eastmans returned, they saw the dog kennel appeared bent, perhaps by a person. They believe that is how the dogs got out.

On Oct. 7, Shiloh was found wandering on MacCorkle Avenue, where she was picked up and taken to the Kanawha-Charleston Humane Association. It didn't take them long to find her family.

“It was very quick, as soon as Shiloh got to us, that we saw she was microchipped, because that’s one of the first steps that they do when an animal comes in,” KCHA Community Engagement Manager Sarah Tolley said.
