Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Vaughn has the dubious honor of being the longest-resident dog at HSOV (having arrived here on November 29, 2022), so he has literally spent half of his life with us (and has been loved each and every single day). These updated pictures were taken on March 12, 2024 when Vaughn participated in our St. Patrick’s mini-photo sessions. Vaughn looked like a fun-loving Irishman in his bright green tie, which he wore rather casually, and he personified the windblown ‘rock star’ image. Vaughn isn't dreaming of the "Pot of Gold at the end of the Rainbow" for St. Patrick's day .. His only dream is of a loving home with a special someone where he will be loved, cherished, and spoiled to his heart's content.
Vaughn is a majestic male Mountain Cur mix who was brought to the HSOV on November 29, 2022 by a Good Samaritan who found him in the 400 Block of Fifth Street in Marietta Ohio. Vaughn was wearing a nice collar (with a matching leash attached) but, unfortunately, there was neither an id tag nor a dog tag on his collar to enable us to locate his family ... And he was not microchipped. Vaughn was estimated to have been one-year old at that time.
Vaughn has a dark brown/brindle short smooth coat, a long tail, and an adorable face with black shading, expressive brown eyes, and short semi-erect ears ... And the nicest smile.
This young man has a happy, exuberant personality and is quite active. Vaughn loves to 'play nip' in an attempt to encourage anyone nearby to engage in some fun-and-games.
In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Vaughn was held for three days so that his family would have an opportunity to reclaim him with proof of ownership. Surprisingly, nobody called or came looking for Vaughn.
Vaughn was neutered on February 14, 2023 and was also given rabies vaccine.
Vaughn currently has the dubious honor of being the canine who has been in our shelter for the longest period of time. He has become a favorite of our kennel techs and volunteers and, though we’ve grown accustomed to his face and great personality, we would love to find a loving home for Vaughn where he would be loved 24/7 instead of the 8-10 hours we are with him at the shelter.
Vaughn weighs approximately 65 lbs and has been neutered. He is full of playful energy and adores attention. Vaughn is strong on a leash and would do best with an active family who could take him on long walks/jogging and treat him to playtime.
Vaughn was surrounded by three lovely ‘Irish Lasses’ afterwards (Emma Dahlgren, Emily Beaver, and Madison Lee who gave him kisses after Vaughn reminded them about the proverbial St Patrick’s Day phrase “KISS ME I’M IRISH”.
