Major is an adorable one-year old male Hound mix who was found on State Route 676 near Marietta Ohio along with his companion (Captain). Thanks to Pet Search Alliance both dogs were safely confined, and they were picked up by our HSOV staff who brought them to HSOV on November 4, 2025. Neither boys were wearing a dog license nor were they microchipped.
Major has a beautiful white and blue merle short smooth coat with dark tan highlights, a long tail, and a cute symmetrically-marked face with dark brown eyes, a black button nose, and short floppy ears.
Major has a sweet personality and a super-friendly disposition
Major weighs 45 lbs.
Thanks to HSOV Kennel Tech Lauryn Hamilton for accompanying Major for his photo session on November 5th and helping him his best poses. Major and Captain were both pushovers for attention and loved being loved by Lauryn.
In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Major will be held for the mandatory three-day stray hold so that his family will have an opportunity to reclaim him with proof of ownership.
We believe that Major and Captain are most likely siblings (or related).
