Nearly six years and he’s STILL in the shelter!! Let’s not give up on Leo. ‼️ PLEASE SHARE ‼️
The Sullivan County, TN Sheriff's Office also offering their endorsement for this sweet boy! 💙

Leo recently celebrated his 7th birthday in the shelter. 😔 The wonderful shelter workers brought him cake and a birthday cookie, we even sang happy birthday…but he still didn’t get a forever family. NOBODY HAS APPLIED. NOBODY HAS VISITED HIM. 😭 Leo has been in the shelter for FIVE-AND-A-HALF YEARS!!
Y-E-A-R-S!!!!

He’ll make a fantastic hiking buddy, folks! Leo is dog selective, cats are a no-go, but he does well with older children. He needs activity and tends to be a jumper. You may qualify for free fencing through Chain Free Dogs if you adopt Leo! See top comment for details. Meanwhile, Leo is waiting for his forever family at The Bridge Home No Kill Animal Rescue in Blountville, TN! 💙

SHILOH (Tennessee) — This line of guns around the Peach Orchard represents Ross' Battery — 2nd Michigan Light Artillery — Hurlbut's Division. In carrying out an attack on Grant's forces, General Albert S. Johnston's main objective was to turn the Union left and drive it away from Pittsburg Landing.

As the morning's fighting progressed on April 6, 1862, knowledge of the exact Federal positions on this flank was not entirely understood or misinterpreted. Alerted of additional enemy units on his right, Johnston was determined to follow up. Two Union brigades under General Stephen Hurlbut fell into line at the edge of Sarah Bell's orchard.

Into the afternoon, this became the scene of intense fighting as Confederates charged through the peach trees to face Hurlbut's men and a few regiments from General W. H. L. Wallace's Division that arrived. Many could recall the blossoms being ripped off the trees and falling to the ground.

Confederate General John C. Breckinridge accompanied Johnston as roughly one-third of the army was directed to engage the Federals here. Somewhere nearby, Johnston himself was mortally wounded as he rode forward to personally motivate the attack.
