My story

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

Sylveon is a beautiful 8-year old female Boxer who arrived at the HSOV after hours on November 1, 2024 after she was picked up in the Macksburg Ohio area by a Washington County Ohio Deputy Sheriff. Sylveon was wearing a collar but there was neither an id tag nor a dog license tag on her collar .. And she was not microchipped.

This sweet older lady has a tan-and-white coat, a short docked tail, and a lovely Boxer face with hopeful trusting eyes, black/silver shading on her muzzle, and natural un-cropped ears.

Sylveon has a gentle, easygoing personality. She wags her tiny tail a mile-a-minute the moment you make eye contact with her. Sylveon is housetrained. She does not do well with cats.

Sylveon was so popular when she first arrived that she actually ended up with two sets of 'glamour photos' (which speaks volumes for her sweet personality) ... Thanks to HSOV Board President/Volunteer Amber Dennison for accompanying Sylveon outdoors for her 'glamour photos' before she started walking several of the resident HSOV dogs .. And to HSOV Kennel Tech Lauryn Hamilton took Sylveon out later that afternoon after closing time for a bathroom break before going to her kennel for the night. The afternoon temperatures were a little chilly that day, so our kennel techs dressed Sylveon in a stylish lightweight jacket .. which she seemed to enjoy wearing.

Slylveon weighs 50 lbs and walks well on a leash.

In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Sylveon was held for the mandatory three-day stray hold. Sadly, nobody called or came looking for this sweet senior lady.

These updated photos of Sylveon were taken on December 1, 2024 when she was enjoying an afternoon siesta. Sylveon is a little cold-natured and still loves to wear comfy warm jackets (or to snuggle up in plush blankets). Sylveon has the sweetest disposition and would love to find a home where she could snuggle up with her new person on these cold winter days.

Sylveon went home with a foster family on January 9, 2025 but was returned on January 21, 2025 through no fault of her own. Sylveon was diagnosed with renal failure during the pre-surgery examination for her spay procedure. We are heartbroken for Sylveon and her foster family, but we are thankful that another foster mother offered to share her home with Sylveon on January 22nd where she will be given unconditional love in addition to appropriate medical/hospice care.

Sad Update 5/4/2025 ... Rest In Peace sweet Sylveon. You were loved and showered with love by your wonderful foster family until you breathed your last breath today. Thanks to that compassionate foster family who gave Sylveon the best home ever for the last few months of her life. She knew nothing but love and kindness during that time
