My story

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

Savannah is a beautiful 3-year old female American Pit Bull Terrier mix who was brought to the HSOV on August 8, 2025 by a Washington County Ohio Deputy Sheriff who had picked her up on Washington Boulevard in Belpre Ohio. Savannah was accompanied by a good-looking male Australian Shepherd (Cowboy). Neither of the pair were wearing a collar, and they were not microchipped.

Savannah has a white short smooth coat, a long tail, and an adorable face with brown eyes, a black button nose, and short semi-erect ears. Savannah has a large black eyebrow over her right eye. She must have been apprehended by the Deputy Sheriff before she had a chance to apply her second eyebrow.

Savannah was a very frightened girl being in an unfamiliar place with so many other dogs around and people that she did not yet realize were her new best friends .. And who could blame her?

Savannah and Cowboy have had a lot to talk about since they entered our shelter and voice their concerns to whomever is nearby and will listen .. Perhaps they are trying to tell us where they live or explain how they happened to be taking a stroll on Washington Boulevard without their collars/id tags.

Savannah weighs 46.4 lbs.

In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Savannah was held for the mandatory three-day stray hold so that her family would have an opportunity to reclaim her with proof of ownership. Sadly, nobody called or came looking for her.

Update: Savannah was spayed on October 2, 2025 and was also given rabies vaccine.
