Story
If you are looking for 24/7 entertainment then Arlow is your guy. Whether he’s giving you funny looks and sloppy kisses, sassing you in his own adorable way or sneak attacking another dog’s hind leg, he’ll have you smiling at his antics. Arlow’s start with the HSOP was touch and go, but he came back to life with all the love and care he received. His foster family reports Arlow is: ✔️dog friendly ✔️kid friendly ✔️cat friendly ✔️loves walks and car rides ✔️knows basic commands ✔️ very treat motivated 😋 Arlow would do well in an active home with another young dog to play with but if you think you are the family for him, reach out to HSOP about your situation and learn how you can fill out an adoption application. 🥰

Story
Hey, I'm Ham — a striking 3-year-old tricolor boy with Border Collie and Australian Shepherd smarts! 🐕 I'm neutered, social, and friendly with everyone I meet, and I've got the energy and playfulness to match my good looks. Fair warning: my beautiful black and brown coat needs regular grooming to stay fabulous, but it's totally worth it! If you're looking for an affectionate, cuddly companion who's ready for adventure, I promise I'm worth every bit of that tail-wagging love. ❤️

Story
Jake is a sweet one-year old male (possible) Hound/Blue Heeler mix who was brought to the HSOV on October 14, 2024 by a Washington County Ohio Deputy Sheriff. Jake was found near the Dollar General Store in Belpre Ohio earlier that day and was taken into custody by the Belpre City Police in hopes that his owner could be located. Unfortunately Jake's family/owner was not found, This handsome boy was not wearing a collar, and he was not microchipped. Jake has a shiny black-and-tan coat with a beautiful patch of blue ticking on his chest, a long tail, and a cute face with dark brown eyes, a dusting of blue/white on his muzzle and a thin stripe on his forehead, and large floppy ears which frame his face. These photos were taken shortly after Jake made his debut at HSOV late in the afternoon on October 14th. Jake spent a little time relaxing in the lobby with HSOV Manager Tracy Lynn and soaked up some loving attention while he waited patiently for several 'wild and crazy' kittens to finish their photo sessions. Jake weighs 42 lbs and has a super sweet personality. Since he was not reclaimed, Jake was neutered on January 13, 2025 and was also given rabies vaccine. Jake enjoyed an extended out-of-shelter 'vacation' at Boxers Bed & Biscuits from mid-March 2025 to mid-June 2025 thanks to the generosity of a group of dedicated HSOV volunteers/supporters. Jake returned to HSOV on June 20, 2025 and has enjoyed his own private “bachelor’s pad/man cave” in a spacious room adjacent to the shelter lobby. If you have been in our shelter, you have most likely heard Jake making his own excitement by pushing his stainless steel bowl around like an imaginary ice hockey puck. .. And we must say that he is quite an accomplished player. Jake is good with his adult people friends, but he is not good with cats or young children. Jake is dog selective and picks/chooses which dogs he gets along with. We are including several of Jake’s favorite toys/activities in his description (thanks to HSOV Volunteers Miley Kiggans and Levi Emil de Leeuw who are the co-Presidents of Jake’s Fan Club). Jake is a 'smaller little firecracker' (we LOVED Levi's cute description of Jake!!) with lots of love to give to his people friends. Jake is full of playful energy and is surprising good on a leash when he is outside the shelter. Jake loves water puddles/ponds as witnessed by Miley Kiggans when she accompanied him on an off-site walk during a rainy afternoon. Jake also loves peanut butter, pig ears, rope toys and stuffed toys (not necessarily in that order). We all agree that Jake is a totally different dog when you are with him outside the shelter .. Like many dogs, Jake's shelter presence does not represent his true character. Jake's 'ice hockey playtime with his stainless-steel bowl does not define his personality/behavior out of his 'bachelor's pad/man cave' residence. Jake has a sweet personality He isn’t a very big dog when you see him in person (less than 50 lbs). Jake is currently about 2-1/2 years old and has now spent the majority of his life with us. Jake would love to find a home with his special person/soulmate who would give him the love, playtime, and companionship which he is longing for.

Not good with kids, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Piglet (affectionately known as Piggie) is a handsome 8-year old male Pit Bull Terrier/Red Heeler mix who came to the HSOV during the overnight/early morning hours on January 26, 2024 when he was placed in one of our outside kennels near the front door of our shelter. Piglet was wearing a collar but, unfortunately, there was neither an id tag nor a dog tag on his collar ... And he was not microchipped. No information was left with Piglet, so we don't know if someone found him as a stray or whether his owner left him with us for some unknown reason. Piglet has a white short smooth coat with beautiful red/brown ticking and a large brown patch on his right side, a long tail, and an adorable symmetrically-marked face with amber-colored eyes, a liver-colored nose, and large floppy ears. Piglet might possibly have some Pointer ancestors in his family tree since at first glance he appears to have physical traits of that breed .. But he never went 'on point' when HSOV Kennel Tech Bradyn Morris helped him with this photo session on the afternoon of February 3, 2024. Piggie was full of energy and ready for 'fun-and-games' or an extra-long walk instead of posing for boring still-life pictures, but he humored us with a few great poses. Piglet weighs 64.2 lbs and is strong on the other end of a leash. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Piglet was held for three days so that his family would have an opportunity to reclaim him with proof of ownership. Sadly, nobody called or came looking for this magnificent boy. We've learned that Piglet was actually left in the outside kennel by his family :( .. And his real name is Brutus. An individual who was a friend of the family provided information about Brutus. He is NOT good with children (especially when food is involved), and he is NOT good with cats since he will cause mortal harm to them. Piglet aka Brutus is tolerant of other dogs. He does best with those who tend to leave him alone and aren't 'in his face'. We had listed Piglet's age as being 2-3 years old when he was first posted. We learned later that he was older than we originally believed and was likely 8-years old when he was left at our shelter. Piglet would love to find a fabulous home with someone special (possibly as an ‘only child’). He will be neutered before an adoption is finalized but could be fostered while he is awaiting that procedure. Piglet was neutered on March 23, 2026 and was also given rabies vaccine. Update 7/28/2026: Please note that Piglet is dog selective and picks/chooses which dogs he will get along with.

Story
Raccoon is a handsome male Australian Shepherd/Husky mix who was brought to the HSOV on February 11, 2026 along with his four siblings (Buck, Foxy, Groundhog, and Kitty) after they were found on Straight Run Road in the Lowell Ohio area. Raccoon and his brothers/sisters were 4-months old at that time and Raccoon weighed 22 lbs. Raccoon has a tricolor medium-haired coat with a unique black/white pattern on his chest/belly, a long tail, and an adorable face with dark brown eyes, tan eyebrows, a white/cream-colored muzzle, and extra-large erect ears. Raccoon was a happy youngster. He and his brothers/sisters were all about fun-and-games when they were at that young stage of their lives :) They loved to engage in silly puppy games .. They sometimes played rough .. but they always loved each other to curl up with for a group nap afterwards. Raccoon went home with a foster family on March 14, 2026 who planned to adopt him after he was neutered, and he was very much loved by his new family. Unfortunately Raccoon's foster family returned him on August 8th 2026 due to their living situation and work schedules since they weren't able to be with him as much as Raccoon deserved. So Raccoon is available as a foster-to-adopt with another lucky family. His previous foster family reported that Raccoon is afraid of loud noises, and he is also afraid/intimidated by larger boisterous dogs. Raccoon is naturally quite a bit larger today than he was when his 'puppy pictures' were taken on March 14th 2026. We had an opportunity to take updated pictures of this good-looking young man when HSOV Volunteer Angel Grosklos spent time with him for outdoor photos on the afternoon of August 9th. Raccoon is still a happy boy who is full of playful puppy-like energy. Raccoon was delighted when Angel sat down on a bench near the front entrance to the shelter, and he quickly jumped on her lap (and also gave her some great puppy kisses). Raccoon posed like a professional model for Dog Fancy Magazine and was a pleasure to photograph. Raccoon seemed a little too interested in the outdoor shelter mascot kitties but, of course, we didn't really know his true intentions/feelings toward the cats. Raccoon is currently 10-months old and weighs 45-50 lbs. He is fairly strong/rambunctious on a leash but settles down after a sudden burst of energy. Raccoon would love to find a fabulous foster home while he awaits his neuter procedure and even better if that individual/family would offer him a forever home after he is neutered.
