Moose and Hazard are a pair of best friends who were brought to the HSOV on October 24, 2024 by the Washington County Ohio Dog Warden. Moose and Hazard had shared the same home and have been kept in safe-keeping custody since their arrival in our shelter. Both boys are now available for adoption since their owner surrendered Moose and Hazard to the dog warden/HSOV on September 3, 2025.
Moose is a 9-year old male Bull Mastiff. He has a fawn-colored short smooth coat, a docked tail, and a gorgeous Mastiff face with dark brown eyes, a black mask, black shading on his broad muzzle, a black velvet nose, and short floppy ears. Moose weighed 92 lbs when he entered our shelter and was already neutered.
Hazard is a 10-year old male Shepherd. He has a blond short smooth coat, a long tail, and a beautiful Shepherd face with dark brown eyes, a slender muzzle, a chocolate brown nose, and extra-large erect ears. Hazard weighed 77 lbs when he entered our shelter. His owner reported that Hazard is NOT good with cats~
Moose and Hazard have shared a large suite in our Safe-Keeping Building since their arrival where they have access to a private outdoor 'patio'.
Moose and Hazard are being listed as a Bonded Pair since we feel that it it is their best interest to find another home together.
These photos were taken on October 26, 2024 through the large window on the door of Moose and Hazard's 'bachelor pad' while HSOV Lead Kennel Emily Beaver spent time with them so that we would have photos for their kennel cards. Moose gave Emily several 'bear hugs' and reached out to her for extra TLC. We wanted to share these photos asap so that potential adopters would know that these senior guys are in our shelter and are looking for a fabulous home.
Hazard underwent surgery on January 15th 2025 for the removal of a couple of masses on his lower back. He was also neutered and given rabies vaccine while under anesthesia
We will plan on taking updated photos now that they boys are adoptable.
