Remington is a handsome 3-year old American Pit Bull Terrier mix who was brought to the HSOV after hours on the evening of February 25, 2024 and left in our care along with his two companions (Beretta and Ruger). The individual who drove them to our shelter did not leave any information with them, so it is unclear whether they were found as strays or were owner surrenders. None of the trio were wearing a collar, and they were not microchipped.
Remington has a white-and-brown short smooth coat, a long tail, and a cute face with dark brown eyes (which are very red/blood-shot looking), a brown patch on the right-hand side of his face, a tiny chubby muzzle, and short semi-erect ears.
This good-looking guy didn't appear to have been accustomed to being on a leash but, thanks to our awesome HSOV Lead Kennel Tech Jared Nash, Remington was soon posing nicely for pictures. Jared and his team realize how traumatic it is for many dogs when they enter our shelter and understand why they are nervous/scared when their whole world is turned 'upside down' being in an unfamiliar place with so many other dogs around (and new people that they haven't yet realized are their new best friends).
Remington weighs 39 lbs. He is already acquiring the new skill of walking on a leash (and he also loves to be carried in your arms).
In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Remington was held for three days so that his family would have an opportunity to reclaim him with proof of ownership.
Since Remington was not reclaimed, he will be neutered in the near future and will soon be ready to find a loving home with someone who would love/spoil him to his heart's content. Remington could also be fostered-to-adopt with an approved HSOV adoption/foster application.
UPDATE: Remington was neutered on April 2, 2024 and was also given rabies vaccine.
