This pair of handsome explorers (Marco and Polo) were on an unauthorized expedition (unbeknownst to their family) when they were picked up on State Route 26 in Washington County Ohio by a Good Samaritan and brought to the safety of our shelter on March 3, 2024. Neither of the boys were wearing a collar, and they were not microchipped.
Polo (pictured on the left) is a 2-1/2 year old male Husky. He has a tan-and-white thick medium haired coat, a long fluffy tail, and a beautiful face with blue eyes, a liver-colored nose, and large erect ears. Polo is the smaller of the duo and weighs 54.4 lbs. Thanks to HSOV Kennel Tech Cadince Bibbee for accompanying Polo for his photo session. Polo has a super friendly personality and is full of playful puppy-like energy.
Marco (pictured on the right) is a 2-1/2 year old male Husky. He has a darker tan-and-white medium haired coat, a long fluffy tail, and an adorable face with blue eyes, a liver-colored nose, and large erect ears. Marco is the larger of the pair and weighs 81.4 lbs. Thanks to HSOV Lead Canine Kennel Tech Jared Nash for accompanying Marco for his photo session. Marco was quickly 'sitting pretty' for Jared and obeying his every command. Marco is super friendly as well as playful.
Marco and Polo will be held for three days so that their family will have an opportunity to reclaim them with proof of ownership. Surely someone is frantically searching for these majestic boys.
UPDATE: Surprisingly nobody called or came looking for Polo and Marco.
Marco went home with a foster family on March 23, 2024 who plans to adopt him after he is neutered. Marco was neutered on April 2, 2024 and was also given rabies vaccine.
Polo is still in our shelter and available for adoption.
