My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Ford is a handsome 1-1/2 year old male Australian Shepherd mix who was brought to the HSOV on April 13, 2024 by a Good Samaritan who found him on State Route 339 in the Waterford Ohio area. Ford was not wearing a collar, and he was not microchipped.

This good-looking Aussie boy has a black medium-haired coat with blue- and red-ticking on his chest/legs, a naturally docked tail, and a beautiful face with a narrow white stripe on his nose/forehead, dark brown eyes, tan eyebrows/muzzle, and short floppy ears.

Ford has a happy, outgoing personality. He was quite smitten with HSOV Kennel Tech Madison Lee who spent time with outdoors on a bright sunny afternoon on April 14th. (And Ford .. We all love Madison too)

Ford is a medium-sized boy who weighs approximately 50 lbs, and he walks fairly well on a leash. .

In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Ford will be held for three days so that his family will have an opportunity to reclaim him with proof of ownership. Surprisingly, nobody called or came looking for this awesome dog.
