My story

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

Hoss is a handsome 2-year old male Terrier (possibly Jack Russell Terrier) mix
who was brought to the HSOV on February 13, 2025 by the Washington County Ohio Dog Warden along with his best friend (Rose) who had shared his home. Hoss and Rose have been entrusted to our care for the past four weeks or so. They were surrendered to our shelter recently and are ready to find a new home (together) as a bonded pair.

This cute young man has a brown-and-white short smooth coat, a long tail, and an adorable symmetrically-marked face with expressive brown eyes, a long slender muzzle, and short floppy ears.

These photos were taken on March 9th, 2025 when HSOV Kennel Tech Emma Dahlgren accompanied Rose and Hoss for their outdoor photo sessions. Both of these little sweethearts wanted only one thing ... and that was loving attention from Emma. They kept putting their cute little paws on her and looking up with hopeful eyes to politely ask for attention (and to be carried in her arms) ... And naturally it worked like a charm.

Hoss and Rose have sweet dispositions but aren't enthused about being in small floor crates instead of a spacious home (and who could blame them). Please don't judge their behavior in their floor crates. They have a lot to talk about when you first meet them and converse in the only way they know how (bark, bark, bark) ... But they are totally different pups when they are outside those crates.

Hoss weighs 22.6 lbs.

Hoss and Rose will be neutered/spayed before being adopted by their new family. They are very bonded with each other, so we feel that it is in their best interest to be adopted together.

Update: Hoss and Rose went home with a foster family on March 15, 2025 who plans to adopt them after they are neutered/spayed.

Rose and Hoss were returned to the shelter on March 21, 2025 because Rose was not being nice to a grandchild in the home. So Rose and Hoss are available to be fostered with an approved HSOV foster/adoption application.

Update: Hoss was neutered on March 2, 2025 and was also given rabies vaccine.

Hoss and Rose were adopted together on July 17, 2025.
