Rocky is a handsome 3-year old male Plott Hound mix who was brought to the HSOV on March 6, 2023 after he was found on State Route 339 in the Vincent Ohio area. He was not wearing a collar, and he was not microchipped.
Rocky has a dark brown/brindle short smooth coat, a long tail, and a beautiful Hound face with dark brown eyes, black shading on his chubby muzzle, and large floppy ears.
Rocky was understandably a bit bewildered for the first week or so that he was in our shelter, but he soon realized that he was actually in a good place with many kind people who treated him like royalty (smile).
These photos were taken on March 25, 2024 when HSOV Kennel Techs Hannah McClain and Hayley Sturm spent time with Rocky on a bright sunny afternoon to help him pose for updated pictures. Rocky was treated like a 'Rock Star' and he obviously enjoyed being the center of attention. Hayley and Hannah discovered that Rocky was not just another pretty face (although he is a gorgeous guy) .. He is also a highly intelligent boy who quickly mastered the 'shake paws' and 'sit pretty' commands when offered a few 'good boy' treats.
Rocky weighs 48 lbs and is walking well on a leash.
In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Rocky was held for three days so that his family would have an opportunity to reclaim him with proof of ownership. Much to our surprise, nobody called or came looking for Rocky.
Since he was not reclaimed, Rocky will be neutered in the near future and will soon be ready to find a home of his very own. He could be fostered with an approved HSOV Adoption/Foster Application.
