This beautiful pair of 1-1/2 year old German Shepherd mixes were brought to the HSOV on December 15, 2023 by a Good Samaritan who found them on State Route 339 in the Beverly Ohio area (close to the Washington County/Morgan County Ohio line). Our HSOV Kennel Techs named them Heat Miser (male) and Snow Miser (female). Unfortunately they were not wearing collars, and they were not microchipped.
Heat Miser has a black-and-tan coat, a long tail, and a handsome face with a tan mask, expressive brown eyes, a slender muzzle, and large floppy ears. Heat Miser weighed 44 lbs when he entered our shelter.
Snow Miser has a snow white coat, a long tail, and a beautiful face with dark brown eyes, a black button on her long slender muzzle, and short floppy ears. Snow Miser weighed 38 lbs when she was brought to our shelter.
Both of these overgrown puppies have friendly dispositions. They were understandably pretty frightened youngsters after finding themselves in an unfamiliar place with people that they didn't yet realize were their new best friends .. But that quickly changed when they began to trust our HSOV kennel techs and knew they were kind, compassionate folks who loved them immediately.
Neither of these best friends/siblings appear to have had any leash training, but they are intelligent youngsters who will quickly master that new skill.
Thanks to HSOV Executive Director Amy Rogers and HSOV Volunteer Tracy Lynn for teaming up to take Heat Miser and Snow Miser together for their photo sessions on December 16th. Heat and Snow were still apprehensive but definitely more comfortable with each other by their side.
We have also posed additional individual photos of this beautiful pair.
In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Heat Miser and Snow Miser were held for three days so that their family would have an opportunity to reclaim them with proof of ownership. Sadly, nobody called or came looking for them.
Since they were not reclaimed, Heat Miser & Snow Miser were neutered/spayed on April 2, 2024 and were also given rabies vaccine.
